The long shadows is just one of the captivating feelings for this shot. The texture of the rope and wood are perfect! The colors and lighting couldn't be any better...

Hmmm... my first thought when I looked at this was that it's so grainy! Reading your comments that it was an outtake for the Grain/Noise challenge.... lol

I like the natural progression across the photo, the dock is taking my eyes right out to the boats. While it might be a little dark, I agree with the previous comments that say it has a timeless feel to it!

This has a great 3D feel to it. I'm finding myself going back to the image looking for more masks! Beautiful textures and lighting... :)

I agree with pineapple, this is a very elegant shot. I enjoy how it is filled to the left and I'm naturally drawn across the photo to the right where the sand has such great texture!

Who would have imagined that a couple of nuts and some planks of wood could produce such a beautiful abstract?!

What a beautiful macro! The pod actually looks "alive"! The colors are rich, and I have the sensation that if I touch this photo, I will feel the textures!

Wow! I love the DOF in this shot the hits of purple around the focused area. This tiny flower really has a 3D feel! :)

I like the angle of this shot... as a hero, looking up and to the future! His uniform, dirty with his "work", equipment in hand... a wonderful portrait!
