This is the SS Dickey which is at a beach where I live. Have been getting up each morning at sunrise to take photos of her. If the tides are right and the sunrise is colorful it can be a magic shot.

I feel that the lack of sharpness may have hurt this one in an expert editing challenge. I have found that it helps a lot to resize in 500 pixel steps, sharpening before the first and after the last step down in size.
Beautiful scene and great colors. I would get up before dawn to go see it. It would be interesting to see more history about the vessel.
A gradient neutral density can be used when shooting to help with the bright spot in the sky by slanting it with the dark part into the bright part of a scene like this.
You may already know both tricks, but I wanted to share the info. Many of your images are just excellent.

Lovely photo, but as everyone also says, the NR is a bit too strong, and has made it fuzzy. Sweet colours though. Dicky Beach is a bit far from my place to get up 2 hours before sunrise for a shot like this, so thanks for sharing it. :)

Ramblin,
looks like an amazing location. :) I think the "blurriness" is the result of the slow shutter speed you are using to capture the foreground details in lowlight. I hope you plan to share some more of your photos of this. hope your travels to the United States are going well.

The colors and lighting are gorgeous. It looks pretty blurry, though.

Stunning colours, but the focus seems to be fuzzy on the wreck, or it may be a filter, it looks gel like.

Nice subjet and capture. I'd like to see a little more context - a little more negtive space on the right. I also find the sunset oversaturated, it's causing some weirdness in the clouds near the horizon.

The compostion is good, but I dont know if it was intentionally but the burned out clouds and oversaturated blue and yellow are draging it down. Good luck on future challenges.
