Description
quando n'apparve una montagna, bruna per la distanza, e parvemi alta tanto quanto veduta non avea alcuna.when there before us rose a mountain, dark because of distance, and it seemed to me the highest mountain I had ever seen.
Dante, Divina Commedia, Inferno, canto 26

Stromboli in lontananza visto da Panarea...

Wow.
I love the composition and tones. The way that ship "points" to the mountain... the way the "black" rocks make the "grey" mountain feel really distant (and as a result really massive)... the way those clouds (and the smoke) give an ominous (almost threatening) feeling to the scene.
Very nice shot.
Btw, the first thing this picture reminded me of was "The Mysterious Island" (L'Γle mystΓ©rieuse) by Jules Verne

Just magnificent!
Is the description a part from a band called gorillaz lyrics? Somehow it sound like it could be their lyrics.
If not maybe you could sell them your lyrics

actually it's "Divina Commedia" from Dante Alighieri...
but I guess gorillaz would sound more or less the same!

Very interesting. I like the way I'm looking right into the back of the boat, it's like a peek into his life. It really makes me want to know more about that guy.

The frame fits very well. I like it

it's not a cloud... it's Stobloli puff of smoke.
It does that every 15 minutes or so.

The clouds and horizon seem almost unreal. It's weird how I feel close to the background and the boat at the same time--as if the picture appeared flat, but it also pops out, too. If that makes any sense?

Wow this is beautiful. Looks like something out of a storybook.

Freedom... That's what's coming to my mind when looking at this picture...
Nicely done, and the square format works perfectly here...

chissa' se il pacifico villeggiante in barca e' appena conscio del pathos della scena... e mi chiedo se abbia mai saputo del destino di Ulisse

Great shot and composition. I particularly like the fact that the mast is high enough to have its end in the sky which allow to have an "something" in this empty part of the picture.

youre probably right. my mom went there a while ago, she cant even use words to describe it.

Excellently crafted and composed. I think the piece I enjoy the most about this is the lens you must have used to achieve the apparent compression in distances. It lends a "togetherness" to all the simple elements in the composition. I love the big sky and and budding storm clouds over the distant mountain. Cool B&W!

thank you James.
I belive it was the 300D kit lens 18-55mm.
and... that is not a cloud: actually the mountain is Stromboli volcano with its smoke.

Oh, I didn't catch that from the title/description. That makes the picture doubly as cool in my eyes.
I am somewhat surprised that you shot this with a 18-55mm. To me it looks like you used a longer lens. Maybe it's the crop that gives me that impression. Nice shot, regardless of the state of my confusion.
