It is really My pleasure to view this beautiful image. I love the darkness, it's mystery and depth and what you've captured.
Brilliantly so, you are so good at getting the focus of the light where it needs to be....to beam through the Magdalena and cast its shine on the beach. My honor...my joy....my pleasure to view.
Thank you....VO

    WOW! You have really outdone yourself with this wonderful review VO. This is a case where your review is better than the image.

    I hadn't thought about it as being dark and mysterious. Now that I look at it I think you are right. This is one of about 35 shots taken as the ship approached, transited and and sailed beyond the setting sun.

    Thank you so much VO for your Great rating and commentary. Very appreciative ~ FS

Beautiful. The way you centered the hot is awesome. The angle you took it at where it's kind of from a low position is absolutely gorgeous. Incredible!

Comment from Lucas Sizov


This is so cool! Black Pearl is back! Captained by Captain Jack Sparrow, she is said to be "nigh uncatchable".
Your composition is highly dramatic and mysterious! The sunset light is perfect! And its reflection on the wet sand is miraculous, like flames of fire! The skies with heavy clouds add more drama and action to it. Life like shot! Well done, capitan Steve!

Awesome photograph of this sunset and old pirate ship. I like how the sun is going down behind the ship. Good composition. Sharp detail. Good focus and lighting. Well done.

Beautiful picture, perfectly timed shot! Perfect exposure captured the correct amount of light and details! Beautiful colors throughout the whole picture. And good framing using the rock and the beach as the foreground!

Very cool. So your pirating in your retirement? Wow what a hobby..lol. Cool capture. Love the colors that you have brought out. The clarity is great. The angle of the shot of this colorful sunset scene with ship on the water is so cool. The capture of the light is great. The image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Creative approach and awesome work overall Top(clapping)

Love the title, Steve. Love the shot too. Beautifully composed with a perfect combination of sky and sea and the foreground rock balancing the distant ship. Lighting and colors manipulated just right. Very well done, my friend. Ed.

Comment from Mr Jones


that is a mighty fine picture and lovely colours and texture on the water and the rocks. the fab scene has a delightful old pirate ship and you can just imagine back in those old times seeing a vessel like this would have been truly scary.
