Amazing clarity in the details of the ropes and pulleys and the perfect sky for a shot like this. The sepia is the perfect tone and I can see this hanging on the office wall of any boat captain. 10

Early Morning Seascape

Comment:
Very classic seaside shot, would work well as a stock piece. Excellent timing with the long exposure to capture the fluid feeling of the waves, beautiful placement of the foreground rock to add a steadiness to the whole image, and stunning colors. 10

The Ruin

Comment:
Either a stunning Heida original or a masterful imitation of her tremendous style. Superb color tones, the plants growing on the ruins provide a mystical feeling and that gray-blue burned sky adds such mood. A 10, easy!

Gasoline

Comment:
This is such a stunningly beautiful piece of art. I worry that it won't get the ribbon it deserves because the subject matter is so unusual, but hopefully the voters will see that the composition and clever color tones throughout the image are so perfectly, methodically arranged that it will get all the 10s it deserves! 10

Great shot! I've always seen these types of photos before and have wanted to do one, but have never gotten around to it. Nice work!

Beautiful composition. Would make an excellent postcard. I love the light and the soft, muted color tones, as well as the leading lines that go from the post in front through the masts and wind up pointing your eye to the lighthouse. 9
