I like the ghostly skyline in the BG.

Good take on a marina setting -- most of the ones I see are way more crowded and haphazard-looking. This one has nice clean lines.

I like the occasional "inside" humor we get -- I might have even scored this one higher since it appeals to might sense of artistic justice. :-)

I'm not sure about the follow-through but that's a pretty good-looking roll. ;-)

Duplicate and flip this and you have a well-executed variation on the "do you see faces or a vase?" optical illusion ... :-)

Yikes! Either that or a really bad case of sensor dust. ;-)

Nice pastel quality to the pastorale below the action.

I don't think it needs to be any sharper -- this degree of softness suits the mood and composition just fine.

Maybe you'll consider adding it the the Blur Gallery as well as the B&W. ;-)

With the curving limbs, there's also a suggestion of the Yin/Yang symbol.

You get the sense that this guy has "personality" -- I'm not sure exactly what type, but some type for sure. Nice color and lighting. I like the title too ... :-)

A quiet moment

Usually I like a grainy black and white for this type of photogrpahy, but the mood of this particular shot seems to call for a slightly smoother, softer look.
