Steve,
A beautiful & dramatic sunset picture with the Pirate Ship the Magdalena sailing past the setting sun on the horizon the sun's golden disc glowing behind the "Mid-ships" between the sails. The sky above the horizon glowing gold above the horizon that also glows under the clouds floating above a sun beam reflected on the sea's glistening surface & the wet sands in the foreground. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

Think if i,m honest i would rather be on the boat than taking photos of it lol,still its a nice shot although i think i woul have just let that sun go down a tad further,just to lesson that glow,funny how loads of tourist places have these type of boats now,not that anyone is visiting at the moment...Brian

    Hey Brian,

    Thanks a lot for your review and commentary. Unfortunately the boat was moving and I had to shoot it where the sun was. I agree it would be better if the sun was a bit lower. Thanks for your rating ~ Steve

Quite an eye-catching image posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us a very enjoyable view of the scene before you. Like the waves and sunset colours. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

splendid photo....very dramatic in appearance...title is also interesting....the ship captured in front of sunset is looking very good...the sea with its waves is adding to the beauty of the photo...rocks at front and dense clouds in the sky are enhancing the overall appeal of your photo...thanks for sharing....

Love the lighting for this one Steve. The glow around the Pirate ship is excellent against the darkened sea. Good composition. Sounds like a great cruise especially with the free drinks :) :) :)

Cool capture! I've never seen this there but will have to pay attention next time there! Very dramatic look to the scene with the sunset and the dark sea! He's still out there! Lol! Great shot!

Very cool picture you have here, down to the impressions in the sand. I love this! I actually took a ride on a "pirate ship" in Florida, it was for kids, they went out and found a treasure. It was fun, and yeah, free drinks, and they were actually strong, or I had sea legs. Nice colors in this picture, just amazing!

    Lol. I literally stumbled off of the pirate ship and almost took a dunk into the water! Good memories! Ha

Comment from Way West


A beautiful photo you have with this scene! The colors of the setting sun reflecting off of almost every surface of the picture makes it seem surreal! Great dof, well done focus and absolute perfect capture of the setting sun! The only thing missing is a set of footprints in the sand of the foreground! Great shot!

    Thank you so much for your review. Yes if I had had the time I could have put my footprints in the sand. Thank you again ~ Steve

Like where you caught the ship Steve! You captured the ship in the dead center of the sun. This gives you a ghostly feeling that Captain jack Sparrow's crew is sailing the sea again. GREAT name for the image. The ship looks spectacular against the sun. Nice Capture! :o) Nancy
