Something so artistically classic and noirish (not quite Renaissance lighting) grabs my attention. Wonderfully handling of light. Not quite in the spirit of the topic since any posed portrait can be a slow exposure. This doesn't provide any quality that says is is a 1 sec pose. It is only slightly soft which could be associated with any number of circumstances. could have been an 8 or better but holding it to a 7 for lack of topicality. That having been said.. it is so deliciously done.

Impressive resolution for a pinhole. What camera?

Seems a bit timid to capture the spirit of the poem .."I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul".

Liberty State Pk & NY Skyline

This finished near the bottom as I thought it might except for the historical interest. This a tough crew.
I worked within sight of the towers during their construction; then later on TV watched them fall.
Thanks for all the comments. You who did clearly understood why I posted it even if more or less little more than a snapshot.

Quite crisp and well captured.

Wild Maestro!

Clever find and quite a gem. Really works well with lots of chaotic motion in spite of the maestro's commanding cue. Well maybe with practice...

Farrier's Work

Sorry but selective coloring never works for me unless there is a great motive. This is a potentially good, natural shot made strange by the colored part against the grey tones. Sepia monochrome could have been a 6 or 7 but this is a 5 for being visually contradictory.
