Nice detail and good B&W work. I'm not a fan of the negative space here tho, which doesn't seem to serve a purpose.

I didn't comment on this upon first review but came back. I like the close crop and use of negative space. I love the speckled texture of the camera whether it be natural or a filter. The foggy lens works here too. Great title. 8

I like the "well worn" look. Good take on the challenge. Technically very well done in all categories.

** Greetings from the Critique Club **

I'm sorry I did not get to vote on this photo as it really is a great shot. I love that it is in B&W - really pulls the viewer into their relaxing moment. The contrast of the water against the shore and rocks is perfect.
There are only two things I would have changed to improve this image - one is to crop out the top 1/3 of the sky. The sky is almost distracting as there is so much of it. The second would be to make the frame thinner - not a lot, but a bit thinner.

Keep up the great shooting

Lovely because it meets the challenge and then steals our hearts with its nostalgia feel in B/W. Congratulations on your top ten finish.
