Golden light for a reminding of a golden century, that's wonderful.

Thanks for the note, too.

Hello Jan,

Not only does the ship look splendid with its carvings and its tall rigging but it is being bathed to a rich gold in the late sunshine.
A fine composition and well framed.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Jan,
A beautiful capture of this ship in very warm lighting, I suppose, it was sunset!
A great POV with great details and sharpness.
A nice composition with a tranquil atmosphere.
Very clean presentation in a neat frame.
Well done.

Great shot Jan... Lighting is superb!

I'm familiar wih the Batavia story, so it's very interesting to see what the ship really looked like.

If you haven't read it already I can recommend "The Company" by Arrabella Edge. It's a novel set around wreck of the Batavia, from the point of view the survivors. Fiction, but very evocative of the horror of the true story.

Excellent shot Jan.

Very good composition and details, and the brilliant golden glow of the later afternoon sun lends itself to the woodwork of the ship.

Beautiful colouration of the ship itself.
I really like the fact there are a couple of seagulls up there too, adding to the reality of the shot.
Excellent work,

Well done

Hello Jan,

I see your getting on quite well! This is really great!
A real present for a boat lover like myself. The composition is simply perfect and so is the light which makes this photo a jewel. I cannot help but admire and enjoy it.
Well done my friend!

Presently I'm off, far from home, living on board of my sailing boat and doing small daily trips along the coast of Sardinia, so I stopped my activity here in TL and TE, however once in a while I'll pay a short visit...

Ciao,
Donato

Hoi Jan,

Schiterende plaat weer.
Wat direct opvalt is het prachtige gouden avondlicht.
Dit tijdstip èn in de vroege ochtend zijn wat dat betreft toch wel het aantrekkelijkst.
Het zorgt voor heel fraaie kleuren; ook in jouw foto.
Geheel is goed verzorgd en gepresenteerd.

Groet uit Renesse,
Adri

Magnificent ship and a most impressive capture. I've always understood that one mark of a good photographer is being prepared to wait until conditions are right for the best shot.

With that mirror-calm water and the golden sun coming in at just the right angle, you have timed this perfectly and the result is outstanding.

Hi jan

I've never been to the shipwreck coast of Western Australia, but have read of the horror story of the Wreck of the Batavia, & the evil Cornelius, & heroic Hayes. It would make a great Hollywood movie. Tfs!
