Quite a different take on landscape but it holds my interest and is a welcome break from the majority. The cane is the visual that, to me, explains your title. I look at the items by his feet and wonder if he was feeding the pigeons and had no luck, as the rest of the photo is clear from debris. At first I thought the shot would benefit from being cropped on the top but then you would lose the natural frame.

I like all the action in this shot .. at first glance it doesn't look like much is going on as the tree is the focal point ... and then you see the waves and the drama in the sky - I like how the sun is shining on the water between the two points of land. If this shot was cropped a little on the right, the tree's anchorage to land wouldn't show - I wonder if that would add to the overall composition? The tonal range in this photo is very good and I enjoyed looking at your shot.

Your post processing in this shot is amazing. The details in the Great Blue Heron's feathers is spot on. Great technically and you have given the bird a much different look than many of the Heron shots I have seen.

Nicely done - I am interested in finding out the settings you used - your model did a good job of standing still. The sky is so unusual and the lighting is superb.

The water is so still that it takes my breath away. The composition is excellent - I imagine you spent quite some time waiting for the perfect lighting - your focus is impeccable. I imagine this photo will do very well.

Interesting choice to shoot this in a portrait aspect. I think you chose wisely. The foreground is interesting and the beams of light in the sky makes this shot more dramatic.

Amazing photo - your choice of making it a long exposure ensures this photo will place very high in this challenge along with the strong composition. You picked the right spot to photograph this image .. the bottom curve of the bridge nicely frames the rest of the image.
