Release me...
Taken at Rhyll early in the morning when the tide was way out. On the way back from Cowes to Woolamai I thought I might stop by Rhyll as I had never been there before even after all the years we had a house there. I spotted this boat tied up in the mud and couldn’t resist a shot. My shoes sank into the mud real deep and had to give the tripod a good clean.
Taken with my Canon 40D with polarising and graduated filters.

Thanks again mate, yeah it was the first time I had been down there since I’ve really been into photography. There’s so many good spots to see I think I know the island like the back of my hand now!

Love this shot. The colours on the boat are really emphasised against the background. It was worth sinking in the mud to get this shot! Congrats
