They look like they're coming back from a journey to the Great Beyond. Bearing gifts. Terrific motion blur,

So many great details in this image - the angle, the reflection in the bottom square, the position of the cable. And the pp'ing - it looks like a jutilda with a Droid and lomo app :-)

What a great shot, love the feeling here, kinda dark and moody, but shiny and bright at the same time..

Great way to deal with difficult shooting conditions, the chrome and black are nearly impossible to capture well in basic, but your treatment of just blowing out the whites and keeping deep blacks really worked for this image..

I love the processing. Looks like an old photograph and the depth of field is perfect. Bumping to 8

I think you are melethia. If you aren't I have just paid you a profound compliment. It's a beautifully judged photograph. Thank you.

I like the sense of hurriedness

I left a detailed comment during the Challenge because it's a wonderful shot. To me, it's worth working on a little more. The curvatures of the water and sand areas are terrific. You may not have ranked highly in the Challenge itself, but with some tweaking, it would be be print-worthy, imo.

I totally emphasize with your sense of discouragement - judging results sure confuse the heck out of me most weeks. But, keep working on it - the Challenge still presents a good learning experience. Regardless of where you place still offers you the opportunity to compare your picture against others - what appeals and why. Learn from that.

This is awesome. Should have entered it! Not that what you entered was shabby. I just like the darkness in this one.
