It just appealed to me how the boat and the tree were leaning in the same direction. Tried to get a bit of a mystical look to this by turning it to black and white and giving it a moonlit feel. Taken near Ballyvaughan near the Burren, County Clare, West coast of Ireland. A magical place.

Very well seen and taken, Mari. The B&W treatment works beautifully, although I must admit moonlight doesn't immediately come to mind! A bewitching image.

A fabulous shot Mari.I like the fact that the boat is leaning in the same direction as the windswept tree. Smashing PS work.

Excellent shot, full of feeling. There is something very pathetic about the way the boat is leaning over.

I agree that the tones are excellent on this one, Mari, and I love the mood you've captured here. I'm not 100% on the composition as I'm not keen on the tree appearing to sprout from behind the boat. It's easy to say when I wasn't there, but a different composition, with more seperation between the tree and boat, would make the image even stronger.

But then again, to get that, you might need to move the boat. Smile
