Shipwreck

Got to this wreck towards midday so I decided to shoot with B&W conversion in mind.
(It is at Dicky Beach, QLD, Australia)

What are you thoughts? Wanting feedback in terms of composition and PP

Thanks in advance

#1 I would ditch not a sharp image
#2 I would crop as a panorama and get rid of most of the foreground
#3 and #4 not a big fan of the clouds

Didn't mind #1, like #2 better, really like #3, and #4, I think it gives it kind of an otherworldly effect, on #3 maybe get rid of the open sky at the top.

#1 seems oof. I really like the other three, although I agree with TLMair about the open sky on #3.

Here is one other in the mix (a longer exposure, using stacked polarisers as a makeshift variable ND) - How does it stack up to the others? If I were to print one, which one would it be?

I'm personally liking the entire set. Just has a spooky erie feel to it which is giving me the shivers but it's just a great set of images imho. I personally like #4 the most as with the long exposure it looks like the ship is rising out of the waves to drag some poor soul back to the deep

Yeah I like this last one too, just wondering which is the front, at first it seamed obvious but the more I look at it the less sure I become.
Also just wondering why did they leave it there rather than move it out?

I really like 3, I'd crop out the clear sky though. Looks like a strange sculpture. The others are very nice too, but a bit conventional, like many other shots of similar wrecks. Not to say I'd not be happy with them, but 3 is really nice and different, more eye catching and interesting to me.

I'm really loving #2 - the break in the clouds is really interesting

I agree I am a fan of the whole set. #1 is my least favorite just cause it is not as sharp and #4 probably my favorite.

This one is a winner! Fabulous subject matter and excellent composition. I probably would have also tried a longer exposure, maybe with the big stopper.
