The SS Dicky was an iron steamboat, which ran aground during heavy seas in 1893. Dicky Beach, Qld, Australia remains the only recreational beach in the world to be named after a shipwreck.

Cool! Reminds me of a dinosaur dig where they've uncovered the bones of a big brontosaurus or something. Nicely captured! Perfect composition.

I quite like this, but think the focus falls off a bit too fast. Selfish as I am I'd like to have more of the ribs in focus. Excellent b&w conversion, too.
