Closing After the Boat Passed Through
by ErikV

Great photograph although for me in terms of the challenge I would have preferred it if the bridge was still partially open and you could see the ships wake trailing behind (so you could tell it was closing not opening). With those elements (and I have just made myself laugh by reading them back....not asking much am I???) it would have been a 10 and a definite ribbon winner, but as it is still a very good 7

Super colours

Ohhh my word you have ruined this book for me!!!!...Now I know that Harry Potter lives...sob sob...No wait I have just remembered I dont read Harry Potter books so I am OK

Very well executed through lens shot and a nice take on the challenge

Great shot, love the leading lines and the super B&W conversion which adds to the sense of finality of the closure. 7 from me

Great macro (how I bet you wish it had been the bokeh challenge this week). Love the image and it works very well in the challenge to my tastes 7

Before the Storm

Hmmm interesting shot. Personally I am glad it is titled as it is otherwise I may have struggled to fully get it. Possibly suffers from the landscape not being that interesting (like there is anything you can do about that!) but certainly conveys the feeling of closing well 7 from me

Interesting and different shot although I do wonder whether his health and hygiene certificate is up too date. Possibly could have done with a slightly deeper DOF to bring (what I guess is) the chocolate slightly more integral to the shot
