Henry Mitchell b.1818 by

As I was walking along the beach road of Old Hastings town in the UK, I came across a museum and this image was hanging on the wall. Just one of the many seamen / fishermen that gave there lives for the love of the sea and for the survival of there town.
I took this image mainly because of the feel that it had to it and what it represents…
( click on image to enlarge and to appreciate the detail ).

taken with a Lumix G2 using a standard 35mm Four Thirds Lens with a touch of hdr using x2 images in Dynamic Photo HDR.
