The Time Traveler

The St. Demetrios shipwreck at Githio, Greece is one heck of a moody location to spend the night.
The ship has been abandoned to rust trapped between the rocks approx 5m off the shore.

Stunning shot which has a magical charm to it.
Great work

Thank you very much Simon!
There's definitely room for improvement on this one, just gotta find the "mentality" to force myself to edit this from the beginning ( I lost the psd! ) and spending more time on the little details that I didn't notice/did carefully before.

wonderful creation!

Thanks Roger!

Beautiful pic! Love the sky :d

Thank you very much Michel!

I chose the purple tint for the sky to get some color contrast between the sky and the sea, blue-ing the sky "nullifies" the contrast between sky-sea, almost making it look seam-less. Some people like it, some don't.

That's not haze on the horizon, it's light pollution inflicted "haze" from the cities in the background.

I did try with the ship brighter, but it looked a little fake ( considering that it's shot at night and there shouldn't be any bright bright thing in the photo ).

Thank you for your time & feedback.
I've learned to respect everyone's opinion/ideas/thoughts, and also respect the fact that you ( and other people ) have the guts to lay out their true opinion/critique.

Respect :)

Here's an alternative edit I did earlier today

Amazing, really dig your photos !

Thank you very much Casey!

LOVE!!!

Thank you <3

Awesome shot!

Thank you Gerald!

Man... I really need to get away from the light pollution where I live. Northeast US is not a star friendly locale! Awesome shot!

It's totally worth it!
The dark night sky is an amazing view and an awesome background for all kinds of scenery.
You can find worthwhile locations ( with dark skies ) using a night lights map like the one on blue-marble.de/nightlights

If you don't have a very good location near you, you can invest in a LPF ( light pollution filter ) which effectively reduces the light pollution allowing you to capture the sky as if you were in a two times darker place ;)
( it eliminates the light emission wavelengths of the common man-made lighting sources ).
You can also add a Hydrogen-Alpha filter to capture more of the blue & red emissions of the various DSO ( Deep Sky Objects such as Nebulae, weaker galaxies, etc )

Thanks for the tips on the filters! I will check them out asap!

This is really cool

Thank you very much Roger!!!

Yet another amazing shot! Well done!

Grazie Paola!

Wow great shot. I love them all to be honest.

Thank you very much Andy!
