Hey Vic,
Very interesting story, to begin with, something how tides change (pun not necessarily intended)
As to the photo, I think the placement of the path and the way the wide angle lens makes it disappear into the distance--more distance than reality--really is a great choice here and, for me, makes the whole image. That same effect, helps the sky and clouds point to the old church as well, and all of it just draws the eye into the main subject.
Good job,
Thanks,
Wilt

Your comments really serve to flesh out the picture and just shows the effect of the forces of nature on man both immediate and long term. The stonework walkway works to lead the eyes of the viewer to the church with the perspective taken setting the darkened nature of the church against the lightness of the sky working to make the church stand out strongly in the image.

Beside the above comments about the composition the repetition of blue on the top of the church, the sky and the blue flowers add interest and balance to the image.

Vic, I forgot to add that I appreciate and enjoyed the information and history of the Church.

Even in that low light Vic you have gathered impressive detail. The notes are a good read especially those about Spike. He spent a fair bit of time in Sydney along the way,

Regarding Dombrovskis, oddly enough it was not until I came to Tasmania that I discovered the man and his talents. His wife has retired from the business she ran after his death so there are no longer calendars, book marks or posters. Photo prints are all that she handles now.

Wonderful detail in the full size version. I especially like the colors introduced by the flowers. By the way, you don't have to be a Brit to know Spike Milligan, just rather old.

The wide angle gives a slightly unrealistic, but utterly appealing interpretation to this scene. Great leading lines and the details are superb. I guess I need to look up that guy now...
