Would like comments please on the style

Too minimalist for me I'm afraid. Too much blank space. Sorry

Fine. I’m really not sure myself. It’s an experiment and I’m interested in getting reactions. Thanks for bothering

[DanK]

I agree with Roy

Nice experiment but not enough detail to really comment, perhaps this is the format you want image viewed but an image or object that fills the composition would be worth considering.

When I look at the image, it looks like a badly overexposed shot of a shipwreck. Just about everything is blown out.

Negative space is a powerful compositional tool, but one needs the appropriate amount for the image to work well. In my view there is far too much in this image.

That being said there was a movement about 10 years ago that used an extraordinary amount of negative space in the image (large sky with the subject as a tiny band along the bottom). This genre did not last long, but there are still a few people shooting this way.

Do any of these work for you?

Gerry First one is best for me but be careful of parts of the image kissing the horizon
Roy

[Gerry F]

Thanks Roy. Your comment about the horizon is one I won't forget.

[Manfred M]

Gerry the one thing that jumped out at me immediately with the new images that you posted is that the horizon is not level.

It is very close, but the human visual system is keyed to seeing a level horizon and if it is not, your image will look off a bit.

I dropped a horizontal guideline on you image. It's not off by much and it drops from left to right, but it is enough to be noticeable.

The other variations are nice indeed

[Gerry F]

Thanks Manfred. Any comment about the images as a whole?

[Rufus]

If this is a location you can revisit then I might feel inclined to try other angles rather being perpendicular to the wreck. Images of a section may hold the viewers attention more.

I prefer the colours in Manfred's post where he mention the horizon.
