His Majesty’s Frigate Unicorn, of 46 guns, was built for the Royal Navy in the Royal Dockyard at Chatham and launched in 1824. She is now the World’s last intact warship from the days of sail, one of the six oldest ships in the world and Scotland’s only representative of the sailing navy. There are only five ships left in the entire world older than Unicorn. At the moment the ship is under major reconstruction and the main sails are missing. I gave this shot a deliberate surreal look because I thought it suited the ancient ship.

@Bessi, boy your picky, not every HDR image should show detail in dark shadows!

10, but I don't see ANY guns on this vessel. Must be the restoration work?

Excellent picture and processing Karl, and I love the slightly eerie feel I get from it. 10.

I like it. Maybe some very dark areas, but in the last time i came to the conclusion that it can enhance a shot to have some dark and moody parts.
