Post challenge :
WOWOWOWOWOW ... my first ribbon :) :) :)

Thank you all for the great comments and wonderful scores :)

As for the question few people had in the comments, its an actual dock - not a poster. Just a shallow DOF to get the effect. Used a graduated filter to get the dark clouds !

Thank you all again :) I am excited and can see myself visiting the front page of DPC every other minute for the next week :)

This is beautiful. I don't know if that is a painting in the backgound or if you did it with dof, but the effect is absolutely breathtaking. 10

That sky is absolutely gorgeous. I think this was an especially challenging challenge. I believe it fits the challenge well. Overall this shot is good. I like the story I get from it. Not sure how this could be improved, IMO... 8

Very nice. It maintains the rope as the subject of the picture but gives the viewer alot more to look at. One of my favorites in this challenge.

I like this shot, I wonder if it would have been better to have the background in focus rather than out. (??)

Love the DOF with such great clarity up front. The colors are awesome and almost surreal. Very nice shot. Bumping up 1 for now.

Very nice use of DOF to make the background look like a painting. You've kept the rope as the primary subject, which is good considering the challenge theme. My top pick...hope it does well for you. Good luck.
