High and Dry

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Beached ship in Newie today:

Was pretty amazing to see this big ship 30m or so from the waterline. Hopefully there is a clear day before they move it.

Took me nearly two hours to get home (normally 20 mins) - huge amounts of rain and flooding.

Great moody skies. A bit of action with the chopper. She looks very high and dry though....... you might be able to get some nice shots in 30 years or so of this one

I wouldn't be surprise if they can't move her, she looks fairly well beached!

The SMH ran a good photo of this - (not sure if added post shot) but it was of the ship with a disabled parking sign in the foreground.

The first in that series is excellent. Were you able to get closer?

A great series of images Nick. I like the moodiness of these with the dark tones.

Nice shots for the conditions.....

A bit OT, but interesting.....

If they do not recover it in one piece, it won't be left as a wreck. A firm I used to work for (I'm in Accounting) did marine salvage work. One thing we had to do, was prepare 5 year accounts to back up a claim that this company had the financial backing to do a job which involved full removal of a vessel wreck off a beach with no environmental damage.

It involved de-contamination of the vessel of all oils & fluids, cutting it into pieces and removal by crane & low loader, rehabilitation of the sand dunes (as a road had to be built to the high tide mark), the works.

A state government was paying, and claiming the whole lot back off the vessels insurers. And we are not talking a small vessel either.

So I would expect the same thing..... if it cannot be towed off, it will be removed.
