Photographers Comments
Must have been divine intervention. How else do you get a boat up a mountainside. And why?

The simple answer is 'Why not?'

Nice capture. Great composition and nice in B+W

Great composition with fantastic depth of field. This is one case where blacl and white work well.

Agree with Art. I like the sense of isolation and abandonment in this image. Great work

Love this kind of shot … Good view point, nicely composed, good mono treatment, a very capable image indeed. The only small negative point would be that it seems just a tad soft however it doesn’t take anything away from the image. It would make a good sepia tone version.

The b&w conversion has worked really well for this image, especially with the tonal range on the wrek! My only ickle crit is up on the top right of the image are black dots (maybe birds or dust) which caught my eye and now keeps going back to them... LOL Overall mate, great image/composition etc.

Damn. Dust on the sensor. Thought I'd got rid of all of the spots but missed those few. That's what comes of changing lenses in a high wind

Thanks for all of the kind comments folks!
