Nice flow. Nice tones. Just to get picky, I think it would be stronger if you were to crop the top fifth of the photo. Get rid of that sky and trees and the power of the water increases. Just a thought. Great photo.

I love this photo. Have been meaning to tell you that all week and have just gotten around to it. I love bent bicycle tires (there's one in my portfolio), but this is great. I like the mystery as well. I feel as though I've been here. Awesome photo.

Killer image. I don't know where the hell my body caps are but I ordered them two weeks ago. I'm lagging. This is awesome stuff, again.

Hell of a tree and fine photo to represent it. B&W is perfect. Great moody image with nicely framing dark clouds.

This is quite nice. Wonderful depth where it would almost seem impossible. Yet I can clearly see eight wheels deep. Impressive. Great clarity, sharpness, texture in the tire. Tonal range is great. Very well done.

Great photo. Tones are perfectly managed to get all the mood here and keep the light civil. Nice texture. Composition is superb. Deep story. Awesome.

Delicate, simple and beautiful. Lovely entry. Only thing I would have done differently is to have put the shallow focus on one of the gears or gone with a deeper focus for the entire image. The more I look at it the focal depth isn't that shallow, so the OOF section toward the front may have been too close for the focal range of the lens. I'm just speculating. I still love the image.
