Tobermory shipwreck

Nice work, I like the duck against the rotting hull, nice sense of scale and contrast

Thanks guys!

Great capture. I love this.

Brilliant image, top marks!

Great capture

this is a wonderful piece Peter.. great shot

Beautiful shot!

Great photograph, good eye!

absolutely a stunning image, well done

excellent composition!

Peter this is just magic – apart from the fact that Tobermory was my very most favouritist Womble!!!

This works on so many levels, the gnarly boat and shrubs, the rocks, the duck, awesome

amazing work – love how you have brought this to life!

nice shot!

wow – perfect composition, peter! excellent work

very nice …

really clear pic ” I Like It Its Excellent Work, Really Good “

What an amazing photo Peter so clear you could almost put your hand in and have a drink of water.

I know what you mean Peter my diving days are long gone !

This is beautiful! I can only wish for opportunities to take photos like this where I am.

Nice capture!

Beautiful in its simplicity.

just a fantastic capture, lovely.

Fantastic image Peter. I used to dive out of Tobermory….grew up in Michigan on the Great Lakes..dove in all the cold water up there. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! Tobermory is truly a wreck divers’ paradise! You have a wonderful portfolio!

Its a great image, and the duck is well placed. I’m not srprised it does well!

wonderful image!

amazing

Outstanding shot – so many people would walk past such a thing and still others would take a quick happy-snap, but with the composition and colours (love how the water ‘melts’ into the sky in the background) you’ve used it’s really been done justice to.

Gorgeous, I love it. Beautiful composition and mood.

nice pic…feels a bit lonely for the sunken boat…great capture

Great shot. Perfect angle.

Absolutely incredible capture…so very well done Peter.

Beautiful shot!! (gee maybe it’s a little piece of the Edmund Fitzgerald!)

A ship that sunk not far from where you took the shot – you can read about it here – a scary night indeed for all those ship workers.

Gordon Lightfoot wrote and performed one of the worlds most beautiful songs about it. The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Aha, thanks for the info Jan.

Beautiful texture / colour plus duck! Nice how it fades away to no horizon . . . that sense of the ‘infinite lake’.

Love the composition. The clarity, angle, texture and that duck work beautifully. It’s such a beautiful and lonely image, well done and thank you for checking out my work also!

stunning work here Peter. For me its the exceptional clarity of the wreck and foreground along with the motion introduced by the accommodating duck!

Not sure I can add to the above comments. Beautifully serene image, and the duck is a great bonus!

Unreal shot magic moment in time !

oh I know it real more real as time passes!

I can see why it was so popular Peter!! Wonderful image in every way!!!!

Absolutely stunning!

great shot,the duck makes it!

Just brilliant, perfectly framed. Awesome image! :o)

Great Shot

In a word ‘superb’.

Fantastic image Peter. A real gem.

Yes this is definitely an image to be proud of, a perfect capture and really well done. :)

...oh and congrats for making it on the hompage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :)

I echo everything Carrie said

Great capture and clarity of shot! Beautiful composition! I have been to Tobermory. It`s a wonderful place! Congrats on making homepage!

Superb! You’ve captured a serene and quiet moment in this composition. The colours and lighting are beautiful.

Really nice piece, super shot, amazing!!!

Great shot, love the whole feel of it. The was a great touch. :)

Bird, sorry. Again , Nice work. :)

Wow!

so so beautiful

amazing work!
very well done!

This is a very eye catching shot, great job!

nice find. crisp shot!

Really nice photo

Kudos to you, friend. That’s a really great shot, and I don’t say that often.

Very nice

I love how I can see the rocks so clearly through the reflection of the boat up front. The textures and angles, and the balance these create in combination with the duck. This is a very nice shot. It begs to be studied in detail, and the pipe on top of the boat makes me think of a telescope for viewing what lies ahead. Peace

Just spotted this on the homepage and for a moment I thought it was a science-fiction illustration of – what? a derelict spaceship hanging in the sky. The duck broke the illusion; damn ducks…

Great image to see on a homepage! I saw this image when I first started browsing Redbubble back in February, and I thought, WOW, the clarity of this picture is absolutely amazing! It is so great, so recognisable. Later I saw it printed as a card. Beautiful work!

CONGRATS ON HOME PAGE!!! (Rusty Group rocks!!!! and my favourite Tobermory gets a high five!)

This image has so much punch…...congrats on home page….....well done.

I cannot add anything else I think all the comments posted says it all. What a beautiful capture!

Awesome capture :)K

excellent work

Repetition of duck and shipwreck is perfect. Nice comp.

That’s the beauty of photography, that one moment when it all comes together, “if your lucky”, talented or both”, great stuff.

Nice composition Peter
really like it. Great work

Wow! Thank you everybody! Just when I’m unable to spend time on RB I make the homepage! Which of course, is absolutely fantastic: wohoo!
I’ll get back to each and every one of your comments, I promise, but I’ve a bit of a backlog at the moment. :)

So be patient with me. ;o)

this is so amazing its not often you see photos this amazing..serious =]

Hi Peter, Yes, I have seen a friend of mine purchased that card. It’s great!

Excellent capture, I love it!

To all of you:
I’ve been trying to say thank you to each and every one personally but I’m loosing here. I have the feeling I’m a little behind at the moment and I’m so busy replying that I don’t get around to exploring new work here on RB. So, instead of each one personally, here is a big, big thank you to all of you who have commented on this cherished image.

How long did you have to wait for the duck to go by?

I can’t remember if I commented on this already, but even if I did, it certainly deserves another comment. This is a beautiful photograph.

gorgeous image, nice composition, love the duck swimming by!

great perspective, very nice shot. the duck adds something extra to the shot.

Superb shot Peter….one of the best on RB!

Fantastic texture and comp!

Killer Shot!

This really is one of my all time favorites, so simple, but has so many different textures, depth and color.

its just a perfect shot!! I like old ships especially when they’re wrecked!

Brilliant photo.

brilliant shot, so many things going on

Love this shot

It is excellent!!!

I love this one it is one of my fav’s of fav’s

What a fantastic discovery….The fact that the bird is in the image is perfect too….excellent image

Hmm missed this on before Peter, this is outstanding work. the clarity is superb.

I agree with berndt2 and the duck really does make it so the speed factor also makes this worthy of 5 stars.

Beautiful lighting great tones…. Feeling of solemnity though…life (plants) clinging to a sinking ship…But hey maybe the duck is gonna rescue them!!! Always hope! I think I need a coffee :O)

In the mist..
and yet clear.
From the bottom..
and yet at hand.
Remnants..
arousing imagination.
A soul for watching…
without watching,
what the sea has thrown up.
Rosa (exquisite..I would have loved to have touched it..I would have taken a sea-pebble for my tokens bag)

Thank you Peter for letting me know it.
All for you. Well deserved. thanks for your beautiful image.
Rosa

Damn, this is amazing – surreal

This is enchanting and lovely!

perfectly composed. very quiet and balanced

Excellent work. Fantastic job!

Wonderful shot, perfectly composed !!

No, you posted it when I was in the US I think :))

Superb image – the duck is just perfect.

great photo – love the mirror image of the wreck in the water and also the duck who wanted to get in on the shot

great job as always …bravo! bravo my old friemd….

of course , it’s an excellent capture ! fantastic clarity and interesting composition. the duck is such a great addition to the beauty of the image.
Sounds like a place where I would love to be right now.

WoooooooooooooooooooooooW…the list of comments does not surprise me, think it took about a week to scroll, LOL…peter I thought this was digital art at first…amazing image!

Stunning Photograph! What a treasure and the little duck, how fantastic is that?!

Wow!

Great composition, well spotted… :)

Great capture, well done

Thank you my friend.

Great shot and I love that the duck just happened to swim by!

A beautiful shot Peter,I love Shipwreck shots..
I have some shots from Tobermory in my gallery but my Tobermory is in Scotland….

I can see why this is one of your most popular wall papers. Great eye—great shot.

A beautiful image. Well done.

Great shot, I also think that it’s wonderful that the duck cooperated and obviously the shipwreak itself is habitat to many more creatures plus some loverly greenery. So you also have a lot of hidden things in this photo, we could use our imagination and come up with all sorts of things.

Instant fave….clarity in the water, composition and the timing with the duck make this such a bold image!

Absolutley stunning image…...this is to die for…..one of THE most beautiful images in here…..magical…...

Perfectly captured

wow

Great angle, I think this would look great in high contrast b/w

great shot

Fabulous – and I love the inquisitive bird too

Amazing scene! Good eyes Peter.
I’m sure the environment wasn’t so good for ducks when it happened! ;- )
Do you have any info about this shipwreck (dates,cause…)
Cheers from Brasil!

GREAT SHOT!!!

Wonderful capture, Peter! The duck is in just the right spot to enhance the composition!

This is excellent!!!

fabulous

What great composition Peter. Very nice photo.

Could have sworn I commented on this before… looks like I’m a bit late though as everyone else on RB beat me to it!

This is stunning in so many ways it’s hard to know where to begin. I think it mostly lies in the engaging composition… I’m drawn in at every angle, finishing up each time looking into that… exhaust pipe?
Love the varying degrees of lucidity in the water, and that duck…so perfectly symmetrical with the outcropping rock in the lower center.
Peter, this is a masterpiece!!

Alright, alright,
no you actually got me blushing.
Thank you for starting my day with so much praise Bilyboy, makes me feel really good. :)

Great Shot, love it!!!

This is an incredible picture, the theme, the colors…Fantastic!

it really takes skills to create such a wonderful photo with such a simple subject :)

Perfect composition !... Love the perspective and reflection… such great shot !...

This is a loverly sea shot! My dad would have loved this…rest his soul…

Love this, it’s almost 3D.

Beautiful image of a shipwreck. Lovely! o(~_O)o

brililant work !

great shot!!!!

• Splendid capture, clear and fantastic. The Bruce Peninsula remains a popular spot for nature lovers and photographers alike, here in Canada. Exceptional work mate !

Stunning photograph Peter, great find

Wow, I absolutely love this image!! Great composition too, Well done Peter!

Fantastic find and awesome capture! love the detail of the rocks underwater shadowed against the rotting hull of the boat-the duck swimming by as if nothing were amiss. Lovely piece!—Bea :D))

awesome capture

Heading to Tobermory in about a month for a shoot! I won’t capture anything as beautifuly as you have here though! I mean WOW!!! Amazing work! Instant fav! :]

magnificent.

nice shot

brilliant

Fab old wreck, so wonderfully weathered

When I was about 6 my grandfather took me to Canada and the Tobermory area was where we were. I remember that there was a ferry, but not much more. nice to see a beautiful piece of work from there. Beautiful image.

Wow. Wonderful shot.

Zo, dat was een eind scrollen om hier te komen… Wat een boel reacties!
Maar volkomen terecht! Schitterend shot, prachtige compo, weerspiegeling…. wow! En dan dat eendje! Magnifiek geheel! Complimenten, Peter!

Really dig this man.

Fantastic kapture, not only of the scene, but also of the mystique of the ship wreck. Love the way the duck seems to add to the solitude of this place.

Love the duck swimming past :)
