The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
We were on our way west along the Beagle Channel from Ushuaia, Argentina. It was early morning and someone was following us. Far back in the distance was a ship. Who could it be?
Specific Feedback
Hoping there is some hint of mystery to this photograph.

There certainly is a hint of mystery, Fred. Your black and white treatment adds to that significantly as do the wonderful crepuscular rays. I also like the way the wake of your ship acts as a faint leading line in this image. Very nicely done.
Definitely some great mystery, Fred. Printed big, this would really draw the viewer in. If you were to use it on a website or print it smaller, a slight crop off the top and bottom would retain the mystery and bring the pirate ship closer.

Thank you to everyone for your fun comments. The ship was actually a National Geographic vessel which followed us into the Pia Fjord. They are not allowed to put anyone ashore so we had all the fun while they sat at anchor and watched.
