Just a simple Snapograph taken at Dungeness Romney Marsh Kent UK of one of the many discarded boats amongst many other things scattered about the beach that have just been discarded and left behind.
In the lower right of the snap you can see one of the old railway lines that were used for hauling the boats or catch up the beach.
I'm also working on a personal project called Things Left Behind and this will be one of the shots included.

That particular just a simple snapograph looks rather overprocessed, if you don't mind me saying so, George. The obviously intentional vignette is somewhat over obvious.

Some off processing there too, horrid halos around the trees, oily sky, and everything is very over-sharpened. What's your workflow, if you don't mind my asking?

I call this workflow ‘Stark’. I rarely convert to greyscale but when I do I go for that stark look that reminds me of my early 1960’s press work when we used to up the Kodak 400 film.
