I like how there's just enough back light to illuminate the shirt for some detail. Nicely done.

Oh my! This one is absolutely stunning! I'd be hard pressed not to give this one a '10'. Very, very, nice work.

Hey Clive. No disrespect to you in any way...I think this same composition, taken with a Lensbaby, would have had more "magic" to it with the bent light and blur that LB's provide. Next time, eh? :-D

First off, congrats on the ribbon - that's WAY cool. I am surprised a little about one thing that nobody commented on. I should have, since it jumped out at me...related to the following post made during the challenge.

Originally posted by JimiRose: You've done a good job here with the planes of focus, keeping the crane arm in focus really adds to the realism.

On the crane arm, there are supporting cables that connect from the back of the crane to the top, and then cables coming down to the ground. Everything in the area of those cables, and even slightly behind, is in focus, yet the cables are blurred the same as the background. ???

I'm not faulting you, the photographer, for not doing the painstaking photoshop work to keep those cables visible (I can't say whether I would, or would not, have tried either); I'm just really surprised that it wasn't picked up on by people that left comments.

Crazy. Some things we (collective group at DPC) nitpik, and sometimes just blow right past it.

Anyway...again, congrats on your new PB, and congrats on not getting caught in that restricted area! :-)

I like this. Don't know if it would brighten up and tad with a levels adjustment and still look ok, but I'd take a quick swipe at it just to see.

You could have also called this "Chilled Tourists". :-) It has to be dang cold on that bridge! Did you fudge your WB a little? That ice really looks blue. :-P

Winner! Well, at least so far. Still have 73 more to look at. :-) Nice shot. You must have been crazy with excitement seeing this unfold before you! Right place, right time, great capture.

I like this, and probably would have scored it a tad higher if the horizon was straight. Lovely color, and I like how you've caught the spray from the top of the waves. Good luck.
