It's like two worlds, one clear and then one blurry. Nice color.

Repetition of Motif with Variation

Christian, you have such a strong visual style that it almost seems pointless to comment. You know exactly what you're doing, and I have a feeling you accomplish what you set out to do, voting be damned. Which of course makes you the perfect Team Sucker. :)

Now, for me, I think I would've cropped this so the top was just above the white buoy on the right. That would make the repetitive themes clearer to me. Heck, go reshoot it for the upside down challenge!

Many of your shots are very dark on my calibrated CRT. I wonder whether that's what you want or our monitors are just different?

Well, what am I going to tell you, Christian? You knew you were tempting DPC fate with razor-thin DOF and low lighting. The composition and DOF do strongly drive my eye right into the apple. :) I think I'd just like it better if there were more to find when it got there. I bet this would look great as a painting!
