Second image that came up for me in the voting. Wow. I like this a lot. very nice framing. Focus and clarity are wonderful. Great focus in all the right places. I love the slight hint of the orange in the boat among all the blues. Wonderfully horizontal horizon. Too often this gets overlooked and is tilted, yours is dead on. Wonderful job. Excellent eye to capture this great image. My only wish is that the boat could have somehow been a bit bigger, but non the less, a wonderful image. ~Heather~

Nice simple image but the handle seems to be out of focus.

The red background seems a bit oversaturated in my opinion.

Iaito is a beautiful and sublte art. I wish this photo reflected that better. Light from more than one direction, and at interesting angles would better bring out the details in the sword. A lower camera angle might create a composition that would fill the frame with the sword and not have so much bland reb background in the shot.

I gave this a 6. I'm a big fan of swords in general, and this is a lovely example, but I might have considered sliding the sheath out about 3 inches. I think this would have given it a bit more pop, The shadows are also a slight bit harsh, elevating it 3-4 inches and decreasing the DOF as much as possible might have helped that, as well as caused the detail in the background to show less, while still keeping the braiding on the grip and cording.
