you know, I'm not totally sold on the logo and I hope you don't mind but I played around with it. I just felt it was a little bland and a little bright on the white card...

Cool tonal contrasts. Bumping up.

Awesome contrasty B/W, I just with that the water wasn't blown-out. That's the only thing detracting from this otherwise perfect photo. The foreground detail is awesome. B/W works well here. Nice job.

The shadows are very dark, the highlights bright... conventionally speaking I'd say this is too contrasty, but it does have a strong impact here.

Nice content, composition and B&W toning.
Your CCD/CMOS needs serious cleaning though. :)

I like the view point. The white crest of the wave gives so much dynamic.

What I don't like it the post processing. I can see that this was done to emphasize thw water but in the process balance was lost. It has beed over done. I think that you chose a place where these waves are not random. It seems that they re-appear. You could have taken adventage of having a digital camera and you could have studied the subject more thoroughly. In this case a film camera would be better, as it would force you to think about the scene while making the shot not after.

It's a 7

Red filter? Love the contrast and composition and the choice of black & white works really well. 10. Great work.

I really like the effect here, the title is very fitting. What I don't like is black (line/shadow/fence?) in the lower left my eye keeps getting pulled to it.

High contrast works well here. Shame for the dust spots in the sky.
