Awesome capture - love the eyes and the look of shock on these cool fellow's face. I wonder if a closer crop would be better to really show off the details in the butterfly.

I love the comments and commentary that you provide with your photos. Excellent stuff!

I think the processing and contrasts of the darkness of the buildings and the sky work extremely well in this image.

However, the cropping of the boats in front really don't seem to fit the image for some strange reason. The way they are cropped (especially the sailboat in the foreground and how we only see a bit of the hull) and the fact that one is a very modern boat gives me a feeling that this is a quick snap.

A much closer-in shot with more height and less straight on set up would likely really help. The names and the details in these old warehouses are very cool - leveraging those attributes - would help this score better.

Jutilda - Simply excellent use of low key. The softness of the pears and the brightness of the reflection off the grapes provides such wonderful balance.

Tim - One of my favorites in the challenge. I think pictures of your kids should now result in an immediate DQ. They are too photogenic for this place.

Steve - Cool image. I like how the parallel lines run from the corners to the nests on top. I think a bit more contrast may have have made this jump a bit more
