Stuart Chapman
Minimal and gorgeous. This is incredibly dreamlike and definately gives off the feel off an inbetween world somewhere between the concious and the subconcious. The lighting is so bright yet calming and a feeling of relaxation surveys across the scene whilst you await someone from the mist.
Robyn Bohlen

Looks like the rising of Charon’s Barge from the river Styx, amazing how much this treatment changed this old hull.

giving the wreck room to breath gives it lots of strength and direction by minimizing the content gives a lovely feeling of tranquility I love the mist for this reason, great shot
