POW 2: 60' Gaff Tops'l Schooner "Tyrone" Wintering Over

It's rare to see boats spend the winter in the water. There is a certain amount of slightly frantic activity at the end of October since most insurance companies require boats to be out of the water by November 1st but if it's good weather boaters want to enjoy a one or two more trips while they can.

It is lovely light and beautifully processed ;-)

Lovely pattern. Great processing. At first I thought it was an imprint in the sand from the bottom of someone's sneakers, like this one of mine but then I saw it was way too precise to be that.

ETA: This IS really striking. I keep coming back to look at it again.!!

Hey, look at those bulging muscles! Great effect. Fun idea. I like it. I can see that cropping would probably cause you to lose parts you want to keep, but how about lightening or changing the black area instead, since pretty much the only area that is black is around the sides.

Shadows Play amongst The Aspen

Congratulations on a lovely image and a great finish. The strong shadows, besides being lovely in their own right, also serve to keep one's attention on the foreground and the four or five trees there, and that helps the other trees serve as a nice backdrop instead of "competing" for one's attention.

An Evening Walk

As others have said, nice placement of the group. The side lighting adds a lot by revealing the folds/creases in their clothing, which enables me to better "feel" their movement.

I love the arrangement on the plate, especially including segmented fish portions alongside the uncut filet.

Week 1 - Pacific Place
by Ann

Comment:
Quite a different scale than I expected from looking at the thumbnail. Black and White is great good choice. It nicely emphasizes the textures of the different materials used, ie metal, stone, etc. without much visual distraction by the stores and people. But I bet that in fact it's a great people watching place too!
