A truly beautiful photo, but the animal lovers might just vote you down because of the theme.

There is nothing in the world more natural than a mother nursing her child, and this image truly depicts the bond between mother and child.

To suggest that this lovely photo, which cannot, even by the most generous of interpretations be considered (excuse the pun)... titillating...... is simply ridiculous.

This is a lovely photo, and you should be very proud of it.

Historic Reflections

I absolutely love this. The composition, lighting and artifacts all blend in to make a wonderful image that does indeed evoke thoughts of an era gone by.

I for one would not clone out that buoy on the wheel, since it is very much part of marine life.

Very nice and very nostalgic.

Oh my..........what a stunning photo this is. Who says one cannot take truly awesome images in winter. Very nice indeed. Must have been a very cold day... I see no seagulls where the trawler is.

Great capture Bear.

Love the concept, but find the tone a tad too dark. I can fully appreciate the fact the the darkness is what makes the image, but there is not enough distinction between the various artifacts.

I have just begun voting, but I am confident this will score really well in the challenge. A truly awesome display of talent in a variety of fields, not the least of which, is photography. This in my humble opinion should ribbon.

Housework makes me blue

Hmmmmmmmmmm seems my comments were cut off. What I had wanted to say was that I truly liked this shot.

Unlike some who found the image "boring", I found the simplicity simply stunning. Taking a photo of a pristine venue and getting the audience to share your love of the image is, in most instances a relatively easy task.

What you have done here is take a very ordinary item, and display it in a striking manner.

This was one of my favorite photos in the competition, and well deserving the placement it got.

The very best to you in your future endeavours.

Dreaming of Yesterday

This is a particularly poignant image... one that reminds me of the countless number of similar souls I have encountered over the years. One can almost feel the pain this individual has experienced simply by gazing at his eyes.

Very moving image.......you have done well in revealing the soul.
