Lost at Sea

There really isn’t many images in your portfolio here at RB that I would say don’t appeal to me Mel… once again, fantastic work.

Hi Mel,

Wonderful image – I like the way you’ve composed/caught the oceans swirl which accentuates the circular lines. The slow exposure adds to the mood as well…

Nicely done.

Regards,

Mike

That rocks, mel. My fave from this location, for sure.

omg wow!

OMG…...just stunning, Mel. I love that swirl. Another winner from your “SS Dickey” series.

This is awesome. I love the unmoving steel against the swirling water, slowly the water is wearing it down but for now it remains proud and unmoved!

Nice one Mel,I like the curves in the water,using your 70-200 should have kept your feet dry ?

Awesome closeup mel ! love the movement and the misty spray !

this is very beautiful work , i like the softness of the water around the image

Beautiful shot! Looks kinda apocalyptic too!

A wonderful image Mel, love the mistiness and the metal bones…

Great movement …well done Mel..yet again:)

this is incredible… the timing of the shot is everything… amazing capture – you feel so involved with this image, as if you are part of the sea, stirring!

Another great composition Mel

Mel this is a very effective exposure, not an HDR photo?

do I like the flow and a hint of golden light

Thanks for the info on HDR, thought of trying it, but??

this is super Mel… creates an atmosphere all of its own… you are exceptionally good at crafting these masterpieces out of what might seem ordinary shots…Well done!

This is wonderful! love the feeling of movement in the waves!

i love this frame

Fantastic shot Mel

Just awesome, I love your photos from this shoot, they are just amazing

Mel, I didn`t think anything you could do could blow me away any more… but you just did. Thanks you for your daily inspiration!!

Ditto Billyboy Mel. I think this is about perfect.

totally awesome mel love it heaps

Wow, another awesome image!!

incredible image. one of my favourites!

Beautiful image Mel, love the softness of the water!

sooo awesome your work is!!!! just beautiful!

Lovely image…

Hey Mel

Next time I’m heading up to QLD I really want to shoot the wreck of the SS Dicky. What a great location. If I’m heading up there, I’ll give you a holler and you can point me in the right direction.

Great shot

Brent

The Cruel Sea, stunning image.

awesome well done!!!

stunning image – composition, light, motion – a feast for the eye!

Fabulous image, full of movement and life! Always admire your treatment of water and clouds!

i’m speechless.

Excellent stuff Mel…a majestic ship of old with just (what seems like) a rack of rusted ribs remaining (lots of Rrrrr’s!) . Love the swirling soft waters.

stunning image …

Stunning!

Almost like the bones of an animal disappearing into a vortex. Beautiful.

Wonderful image!!! So much movement in the water swirling around this wreck.

Stunning shot …

Great job on this one. So interesting to look at.

hi mel, I ment to say (do I like the flow and hint of gold, yes it’s stunning)

My goodness, this is beautiful, Mel. What a splendid composition. I have grown a passion for the stumps of frames from the SS Dickey. No wonder you visit this place now and then. And the water is gorgeous with the golden reflections. Excellent lighting.

Fantastic. Love how this has so many aspects of motion all in one little scene

This is so beautiful Mel. Love the long exposure.

Some superb patterns happening here Mel, excellent.

Wonderful shot.

WOW, this and the rest is just amazing

Like your postwork Mel….. I wonder how much longer the wreck will stay intact ….

Like the close up Mel (makes a change from 16mm :) ) but the thing that stands out the most is the lighting. That patch of light on the left hand side is just magical. The way the water sweeps around that patch leaving it exposed and ready for that reflection is timing in perfection.

brilliant work

stunning work!

wow that is an awesome shot well done!

what you can do with water just blows my mind! =)

terrific

Amazing photography, this is so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gorgeous…bet ya lovin that 5D eh Hon??....;)

This is just SUPERB….I love the whirl and the force in it!
BRAVO!

Outstanding capture Mel! Besides the excellent comp and water movement I love the splash of gold on the sand!

Great image Mel! Love the movement of the water..

Wow.wow.. excellent.

Fabulous Mel … straight to my faves ♥

This is beautiful Mel… it evokes quite a thoughtful reaction for me… (timely also, with the find of HMAS Sydney)

like skeletal remains as the gradual weathering of time and tide eat away at what man has left behind….
how awesome is this shot!!!

Stunning image! Looks like dinosour ribs washed up the beach.

Mel, this is absolutely stunning!

Awesome Mel!!!!!!

magnificent work Mel, stunning capture

This is just beautiful. Gives the impression of looking at the remains of a giant rib cage prehistoric creature. Gorgeous!

excellent work.

another stunner mel!

another nice shot

This is the first work of yours I’ve seen; I’d better tell you how much I like it before I’m overwhelmed by the other beautiful photos I see previewed at the top of this huge column of praise. Inspiring work.

Stunning photo Mel. I love all your photos. You rock!

Just beautiful!

WOWEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow – great shot Mel. How sad too.

Takes my breath away, Mel.

All your images are very nice but you seem to shine when it comes to water. You are able to capture the essance of the scene as here so well.

Wonderful work.

This is so beautiful. Well Done

Awesome image!

stunning work

This is amazing, and instant fave….your work is inspiring!

or some! great m☺vement.

This image is stunning, excellent capture!

Love this Mel,great feel of motion

amazing, looks like the skeleton of some long dead sea creature

Great shot, instant fave

Quite surreal Mel. The movement in this shot is wonderful and frames the skeletal ship remains perfectly. Very nice.

wow great work

This is amazingly stunning. I don’t think amazingly stunning even cuts it really, its beyond stunning! I thought you’d been to some amazing other planet and then I saw…Caloundra. Holy crap. Amazing. Did I say amazing? Yeah I think I might have…

Beautiful. This capture is so alive. Great work!

Outstanding – for sure some of the best out here!! Now that’s what I love to see work that’s truly worthy of buying (like yours) Sadly there’s a lot of home photography appearing on the site that shouldn’t be here making it harder to find the ems like yours :-)

very cool! ;)

love it!!

The swirl and the movement really drew me in. AWESOME SHOT!!!

Stunning.

Worthy of my 1st stop & look & love in my intro to redbubble

I love the “creamy” effect of the slow motion shot. This is fabulous. Love your whole series! Amazing how you can learn from shots like this taken by a pro!

This is Sick … ( in the best possible way, of course ;)

My pleasure, Mel … You Rock!
