This is an image with that rustic feel of the deep blue seas. The angle brings to mind those pirate movues where the music thunders as the camera is raised. The sky here proved very opportuned to give it that grit and sense of great expanse. I adore sepia and this subject lends itself for the overall effect. Great angle. You have my 8

Very stunning image, I like the contrast between the softness of the clouds and the lines of the sail ropes. The tone works well with this shot 10

In my top 10, maybe a ribbon winner. I'd love to see this in colour, I image rust and earth tones really contributing to the photo.

Excellent. Crisp and clean. I might have tried some dodging around the eye, but the photo was executed very well.

This shot is perfect. The onlz think I could change is to show a little bit more of the object. The lower part looks a bit "unfinished". It end suddenly, but - on the other hand - I have no idea, what was hapenning below. Maybe there was something spoiling the whole composition. Excellent choice of making it a B&W picture.

Really captured the feel of sailing with the partial sheets and b&w treatment. One of my favorites this round

Top shot in my opinion. Composition,lighting, DOF, subject and apt for the title. Interesting and detailed. Can only be improved with additional processing, which of course you can't do for the challenge. A winer as far as I'm concerned, well done.
