this isn't a six, it would be a 10 in my book. This is stunning and says so many things. the lighting is impeccable. God's love showing safety, peace, kindness, everything that is Him. This has got to be my favorite. something about it really spoke to me this morning. Thank you Steve.
love it

Comment from Envision


You do have the great imagination of a talented writer! It's a fun story and I especially like peering through the smoke effect framing the top. It effectively adds an interesting element of drama and mystical illusion to the image. The shape and essence of the pirate ship leads my imagination to time travel rather than cloaking or invisibility, and the ship goes perfectly with the magical gossamer appearance of the smoke, and my impression of the concept of the story. I also admire how the nature of your story cleverly forgives the brightness of your light source :)

    It has been a long time Grace. Hope all is well. Thank you for your compliments on the story and the scene. You are quite right in that the blown out sun created the necessity of 'flavoring' the scene so as to make it look intentional/presentable. Then I built the story around the scene. Necessity is truly the mother of invention.

Comment from Stringbean


I love your storytelling with this image.....maybe magic follows you. I like the beam of light going through your image making this photography dynamic. The unusual smoke in this sunset scene makes this unique. Very well photographed with a beautiful sunset and I like how the people in the foreground are silhouetted. Your post-processing is an experience all it's own. Outstanding work and storytelling behind your lens. Thanks for sharing! Love this!

Comment from nikman


It's true then after all! Lightening can strike the same place twice!! Your fine composition is both traditional and eye-catching. Like the silhouettes, the shaft of light with what, to me, look like wisps of smoke. A enjoyable image. Well done!

Comment from Gina_me


The picture is worth at least 6 stars. The story I have learned in my life they are all sorts of things that can't be explained or understood. It reminds me of a picture my grand dad had. The color and the waves and the light is just beautiful.

And what was it that you were smoking at the time? No matter, wherever it came from, a great story. Had me til the ship disappeared. An intriguing image and I thank you for sharing!

    Lol. Thank you Sandra for the nice review and Wondeful rating. I don't smoke anything but when I look at a photo sometimes some wild stories come to mind to enhance the scene. I don't know where these crazy ideas come from but they are a lot of fun to spin. Some believed the story. I will have to put a disclaimer on the stories from now on I see. Thank you again Sandra for the Wonderful review and Extra Sparkle. Hope all is well ~ Steve

Comment from Mary Christman


I'm confused on whether your story is true or not! Regardless, this photo is by far a six rating! It appears to be some kind of spirit to the right!
Most amazing picture! Just beautiful!
Thanks for sharing!

maybe this galley has a flux capacitor built to travel thru time like back to the future! nahhh..it had to been the tequila..wink..ok now to be serious..cool story..and i can understand that someone told that to you..well you know the answer to that one..lol. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of this ship on the water with folks looking at that and weird sky is great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. maybe you can contact one of those UFO hunters..well i guess you can call it a USO..evil grin..great job overall Top..glad ya survived it (thumb up)
