Wreckage in the Sun and Fog - a photo on Flickriver

For a richer experience this image is best when you View On Black

Even an ugly ship wreck belched up from the belly of the sea can look beautiful under the right set of circumstances. All of the conditions and elements for making this image memorable were present at this moment (sun, fog, wet sand, surf, scenic background and reflections of both the wrecked sail boat and the shimmering sun in the wet sand). I'm delighted with the way this image and several others in the set turned out.

Nikon D60 Tamron 18-250 mm lens. Focal length 35 mm Exposed at 1/200 of a second at f7.1 ISO 100. As shot in the camera. No HDR or Photoshop and only some very minor post processing with Picnik to control the contrast level.

Thank you all for the many comments, awards and faves. I'm overwhelmed (pleasantly so) by the response this image is receiving.
