No way this deserved the brown. This was a difficult capture; a lot of work went into this. Yes, its too small and the crop is off, but sad to see that voters stopped looking after noticing those obvious faults, because there is a lot more that is good about this image. Don't let the voters get you down; your image is much better than the score reflects.

Way to go david ... congrats on the ribbon, and a nice fresh look at one of your old subjects (at least I'm assuming its that same beached ship you've shot before).

The only bit of constructive criticism I can offer is that I think this image would have popped just a little bit more if it had been shot with a Pentax. :>P

Beautiful and subtle play of greys and light, looks like a charcoal drawing. This is why I try to go through shots at least twice when voting ... put this in the six bucket originally, now back for a second look to bump you to an 8, and I may be back again. Ah heck, make it a 10. Don't see how dappled light gets much better than this. Good luck!

Nicely composed, and a great find if it wasn't a setup shot!

Cool sky and I like the processing. The red door really pops here. The fish gives an interesting perspective, but I think this one would be even better with a bit of defishing.

Very unique image, at first it looked like one of those multiple exposures but I can see that its not. A little to heavy on the neat image or gaussian blur for me, as you've lost a bit too much detail on the foreground elephant, but still very nice. 8
