I suspect this has to be a winner. It's very beguiling.

For my taste, the best of the fisheyes. Really nicely framed, wonderful distribution of negative and positive spaces, nearly a centered composition but out of kiler a little bit in everyw ay. Good work!

Contemplation

I like this very much. I might like it more if the blue coat were desatted a bit more, but all in all it's an intrigiuning image that keeps me looking. I liek that no faces are visible.

Beautifully controlled, almost perfectly framed. Nice job!

The Gravel River

I just love this one, it's palpably exhilirating. I'm assuming you were sitting in a kayak on top of a car? Or the camera was mounted there anyway... The pure symmetry of the tiedowns is a grace note that strikes me. And of course the image is TOTALLY centered, symmetrical, which is a no-no in DPC terms so yoi get poitns for me just 'cuz you made it work.

Clambake!
by Bear_Music

Comment:
Clambake: the clam's ain't baked. Don't ask em why they call it that. The clams are steamed and served in the shell, with drawn butter to dip. A fire is built on top of stones in a hole in the sand and tended for hours. Then the embers are raked away, seaweed is laid down over the stones, metal latticework over the seaweed, then lobsters, chicken, sausage, potatoes, corn tossed on that. All covered by tarps, and sand over that. The whole pile steams ("bakes" I guess) for an hour, then it's revealed, which is what you see here; the tail end of gathering the food.

Monumental project; over 100 lobsters, for example. 3-day party. I did 10 gallons of lentil soup and two hams for Friday night, the clambake was Saturday, Sunday morning breakfast for 60... I been doing this for 3 years now. The hosts of the party are getting on in years. This clambake has been an annual event for 35 years now. As far as we know, it's the last big, private (as opposed to commercial) clambake on the Cape.

These events used to be one of the mainstays of Cape Cod social life, with entire communities hosting them at the beginning of Autumn.

Thanks for all the comments. I barely had time to edit an image and get it in. The dark halo on the gal's head is sloppy masking. The "distortion" is the natural result of 10mm lens, circular objects at the edge get elongated.

Be a Tiger

Hmmm.. Nice hook grip. Weight may be a little too much on left side, ball a bit far back in stance, but hard to read the angle. Nice shot, thouhg. (grin)

Pity the trees are sharper than the car. Striking shot.

I presume the softness is intentional, but it does not work for me.
