Challenge: Letting Go (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Minolta DiMAGE 7Hi
Location: Maugio, France.
Date: Feb 7, 2004
Aperture: F/8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/180
Galleries: Landscape, Nature
Date Uploaded: Feb 7, 2004

 This photo was taken in the camargue area, in France, at an old boat cemetary.

I did not tamper much with the colors, except to enhance them a bit using curves. The original shot already had those tones because I used a progressive, sepia-toned ND filder during the shooting that gave the top part those orange colors.

This place was really a place to let go of old fiends who served their duty well...

Hope you like it.

If the boat were floating down the river instead of chained up the idea would have gotten across better, but it is a nice photograph.

Looks very lonely and cold to me. Rain off in the distance?

Great shot except your horizon is a little off which draws my eye to the dark side.

This shot makes me feel peaceful. I love that triangle formed by the silhouette of the bank. Diagonals and straight lines miz very well. It's beautiful.

This is a beautiful image, and it's a shame that it doesn't fit the challenge better.

"letting it go" should imply at the VERY least that the boat is not still chained up.... but I must say... that is an absoutely BEAUTIFUL picture. Wow. =)

Hmm...maybe if the boat wasn't tied up this would fit better. I really like the photo's colors.

If the boat is the subject, then it is too dark. my eye is drawn to the water.
and this looks lie it was taken for the sunset...but does not fit this challenge.
2 demerits for all cats, birds, kids, flowers, insects, sunsets.

However, it is a very nice picture.
