Thank you for not over-saturating. A terrific result without attempting to reinvent the natural quality of light and color. A top pick from me.

Literal and deceivingly abstract at the same time. Very nice!

Maybe it would have done better as "One day soon... I'll clean the sensor and calibrate the monitor."

Really well-timed moment with an interesting story. I think I might eliminate, or at least dial way down, the highlight corner vignette. Still an excellent entry.

Excellent low key work. Subtle shadow detail fading to black, well-balance composition.

To the Fishermen who landed here

For me, it's hard to capture and hold my attention with sculpture alone. Yet, here the quality of the work itself, the context provided by the background, and the choices in image toning make this work well. The main subject's positioning against the simplest part of the background adds to the composition's balance and focus. Nice work!
