This is very neat. I can only imagine the number of visits to learn the specifics to making this image. Well done.

An amazing, fun image Ian with gorgeous light and color. Wonderful exposure for the waves which also adds to the illusion of a pirate ship on the high seas. Pure genius!

Fantastic! The background sky, clouds, and sea are very complementary too.

You must have been in dire straits making this image.  I love the golden pirate ship and the pastel oranges in the sky (seen best in the large version) really set it off. Your intimate knowledge of the area really pays off here.

that rock really reflects the light nicely here, Ian! I am not sure the bottom rocks help this scene out..have you thought about cropping them out and making this a pano?

Ian,
Shipwrecked indeed! Timing is everything and the light striking the rocks is just perfect. Subtle, but I think important is how the surf in the bg is soft which doesn't draw attention away from the light, yet provides wonderful context. I might agree with Rick about a crop of the bottom, but regardless, you've captured a wonderful moment.

Awesome. This is a feat of perfect timing.
It really does look like a ship of gold. Wonderful capture, Ian.

This is really cool Ian. I like the pirate ship. I looked at this for quite a while before I figured out what is going on here.

Wonderful light and a trippy, other-worldly look to the image. It definitely looks like the golden pirate ship. Excellent.

A sensational image, Ian. Looks like gold leaf hammered onto the rock... stunning light and very interesting how you researched and captured it. The soft purples of the crashing wave in the bg make a very nice complement.
