We were traveling through Malta in 2018 when I came across this. According to the locals it had crashed up on shore about a month prior. They didn't know what to do so they tied it off until they could come up with a solution. My personal favorite of the photos I took. The two guys below were exploring the ship. Thought it would ruin the shot but it ended up adding some good scale.

Since it was my favorite shot I got it printed. I extended the left edge with Photoshop to get an ultra wide 2:3 print (the original right edge was cropped out of the photo posted here). Got it done on a reflective metal, looks great in the dining room.

You should be wildly proud of that!

Can you tell me about printing on reflective metal? I've printed on the reflectorized vinyl like a street sign, but not directly on the steel. That looks like a million bucks!

I used these guys

They were the only ones I could find that did the ultra wide in metal (it's 40x60). I added the gloss white as metal prints can sometimes dull the colors.
