There's apparently several shipwrecks in the area, but this one is by far the easiest to get to. It's just a quick 2 minute trek through the sand from the parking lot.

As for the slogan used, I'm not sure where the cars were gaining access to the beach, but "just because they can, doesn't mean they should!" I couldn't believe that there were cars driving that close to such a fragile historical landmark. There's parts of the wreckage that are just barely poking through the sand. Dangerous for both the drivers and the wreckage.

Very well done. Nice composition and text is perfectly set. I don't know what your trying to say with the tagline but otherwise a cool start.

Great shot. Love the light and the birds really give it life. Very nice b&w conversion. Wish you'd post your processing steps.

edit: thanks for posting the processing steps. Very helpful.

Nicely processed and I really like the sun bits. (And a 5.8 in my book is doing very well, but I work on a different scale than most!)

Oh, I LOVE this. This is so the kind of shot I love to find - those birds just flitting in then out of the frame make this work for me. Nice use of the processing tool - not overdone.

Abandoned building are my very favorite subject. This one is very nice, the birds add just the smallest bit of whimsy.
