Comment from Daphne Oberon


Oh so you fibbed? That is immoral to do Steve, as it makes people question genuine experiences. It is a great image though, great special effects! I wondered if it might be a piece of falling satellite. Daphne Oberon

What an imaginative story, Steve. Love it! Plus a fantastic piece of post processing to go along with it. Perfect color tone choice to enhance the effect too. Plus I can tell it was a well done shot to start with. Great job.

Steve this is amazing... and how fortunate for you to be there at that particular moment!!

wonder if one of the ships were blasting an onboard canon? A presentation of some kind?

either way, what an amazing moment and you captured it perfectly!

    Thank you so much Eileen for your review and Extra Sparkle. Actually this is a tourist Pirate Ship that goes around the Puerto Vallarta Bay. I took the shot when the sun was up and then added the smoke effects and the streak of light. As for the story, well, I fibbed. I feel terrible LOL. This one was a lot of fun to create as well as the crazy story. Thank you so much again my friend Eileen. So glad you liked it ~ Steve
Comment from cleo85


Whow. This really looks like a time-wrap. You did an extraordinary work with you filters. I can still see that the ocean, beach and people and even the sail ship are from a photo, but your skilled mixed media work changed it into something surreal. I am reminded of the Flying Dutchman as well as of the Marie Celeste.

    Thank you so much Cleo for your very complimrntry and encouraging review and Extra Sparkle. Yes this one reminds me of the Flying Dutchman also. It is actually a tourist boat that sails around the Bay of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I had a lot of fun creating this one as well as the crazy story to go with it. Thank you again my friend ~ Steve

Comment from Robert Plain


Well, one thing for sure, Steve, it's not a UFO. Because then it would have been totally out of focus. UFOs are never in focus. But what ever it is, it sure made a nice picture. And it's not fair that you get 5 months. Usually I only get about 3. What's up with that?

    LOL Thanks Robert for your great review and comments. I recently retired (both from the Army and the Veterans Administration). So my new motto is: 'Every day is Saturday'! So I decided that as long as I have my health I am going to spend time doing what ever iI want to do. What a concept! I will keep my eyes open for a UFO and if I see one I promise to send you an out of focus blurry picture along with a fanciful tale. How's that? Thanks again my friend ~ Steve

    I love it, Steve. I am also retired (still work part time to get money to travel) and also just do what I want. Still have my health at 76 and having a great time. Love it!!

    Damn, I can only hope I am as active and Lively as you when I turn 76. I WILL get there my friend! You are an Inspiration.
Comment from Malmax


Well the story telling is quite amazing and the image goes along with it so well!
Love the effects and the monochromatic color tones in this scene. Very dramatic and artistic in both image and narrative. Great work FS!
A stunner!

    Thank You so much VO for your wonderful review and Extra Sparkle. What do you mean 'Story Telling' ? You don't believe me? My narrative is 92.057% pretty much not true. No wait.......

Comment from booklotto


Okay Steve, let me see if I have seen and heard all that you seen and heard. First off, so happy you got there for this shot. Very stunning to say the least. Love your colors! How can this be? Its the best ever sunset I have ever seen on this earth for 66 yrs. now. I so love this story line. I think I had better step back here and allow many others to see and hear all that I was told. Your the best at setting us up! lol, many thanks for the laughs!

    LOL. You crack me up Joanie. I thank you so much for your Great review and Extra Sparkle. Just for you I will tell you that this is a Genuine Imitation scene. Very rare and I refuse to share it with the government (although $30 Million is very tempting. If they had thrown in a really cool hat I would have buckled).

    And as far as setting you up, I will have you know that my narrative is 95.0346% kind of, sort of not really true. No wait......

    OH and I just turned 67 so Respect Your Elders! Geez, how do you can get me off on these crazy tangents?

    See, I bring out the best in you by stating that I had better leave well enough alone on this posted art. But it is the best ever unreal art I have ever seen. lol, keep it up!
