Best shot I have ever seen from you. incredible. absolutely fabulous

Reminds me to Thomas the tug boat and his
friends.

Lynne,
Yes and no.... lol This is a very powerful picture. And yes, it immediately gave me the feeling of being sucked underwater, trapped in a ship that is sinking with no way out. I'm reminded here of an old movie called - The Last Voyage - which scared the heck out of me. I have no claustrophobic issues, but I do have major drowning fears.
Damn Motts... you certainly have an amazing ability to stir emotional reactions with your photography.

Go for it, Dude!

now fog shots would be totally awsome motts, DO IT DO IT DO IT

I can just imagine being there, hearing all the creaks and groans. The splashing of the water on the sides of the ships, totally cool, thanks motts

LMAO..................... love the title motts :-)

Well, THERE'S more information about your grandmother than we ever needed to know. >:-(

I KNEW that beer would make its way into the conversation at some point. 8`-)

And your beer. Don't forget your beer. That way if you dropped a can you could just jump in after it instead of worrying about all that decomposing green gunk from the ceilings. :-)

Good point. Thats wasn't the best combination of sentences, was it? 8`-)

OK, what I meant was that I got two different thoughts/feelings from looking at this photo. First was that the picture was incredibly impressive in the way it was put together - the colors, the centering, the look and feel of the slowly eroding iron and the murky water juxtaposed against the blue sky. Second was a claustrophobic feeling of being trapped and slowly sucked under water, which is something that scares the bejesus out of me when I think about it (which I try not to do very often <G>), and it is amazing that a simple photo could elicit all of this at once.

That better? :-)

And THAT'S 'cos there's monsters down there! :-)

I'm really not sure, you're asking the wrong guy :-)

I'm sure a more nautical person could take a good guess...

Unfortunately it was borrowed from a friend... otherwise I'd be there a lot more!

That's pretty cool, how old of a boat was it?
