OMG….LOVE THIS. I think it’s even better than “Just Another Dicky”. The exposure is perfect – I love the lines of the water over the sand…and what a magnificent sky. This is definately a favourite and IMHO one of your best.

Just Awesome Mel ! I’ve been to this wreck in Caloundra, the war trail is quite amazing.
That orange on the horizon really breaks up the dark blues just perfectly to add that colour.
I love the water streaking over the sand too, feeling like it’s pulling you in.
