The grain and black/white treatment fit the grittiness of the subject very well.

Beautiful. Usually I like macro photos to have better depth of field for the main subject, but this one works very well with the majority of the subject in a blur. Wouldn't change a thing.

In Hot Pursuit

Fun how they look like they are all airborn at the same time. The curved patterns of legs and feet almost meld into hobby-horse rocker shapes. From that, along with the bright colors, they begin to look like toys. Nice.

Hey, I clicked to comment as soon as I spotted this in the side challenge. I think the curve of the twig/vine lends an elegance to the composition, while the texture (screen? safety glass?) compliments the dark tones to add an element of mystery. I like the pattern of illumination too.

I though that exactly this approach to the topic would be a fun entry, but with a manual typewriter - then didn't enter anything. I love your choice of tone and leaving the network cable blue. Easily in my top 10 for this challenge.

i catch fish with a pole, not a net

Man are those poles long! Great image with the lines of the poles giving a bit of drama. I already got it that fishing with poles is different than fishing with a net. I fear many will reduce the score because of the title. After a small internal struggle, I concluded that your originality on the positive side makes up for the title on the negative side, at least well enough to not mark this down from an 8.

Tall Shipmates

Exactly without a net. Nice choice of perspective to have the cross piece at the same elevation as the clouds. With no ship or water visible, I get the uneasy feeling of a vessle moving high through the sky (but the sailors don't look like the crew for Peter Pan). Wonderful image.

Spot on for the challenge. Seems like the person could be focused a little sharper, but I enjoy the image a lot, plus it makes me get that funny feeling in the pit of the stomach.
