Extra pointage for the most original pic I have seen of Haystack Rock.

Wow! This is spectacular! If only you could have been a little more to the right so you could crop something like this: yet have only street and sidewalk in the background. The umbrella, kid and reflections are incredible, but your background is so busy.

It still made me say "wow" when I first saw it, however. Marvelous shot!

Absense Of Traction

Comment by jomari:
I love this dramatic shot.The point of view makes the tractor look so imposing. The stark contrasts really suit the massive machinery while maintaining enough detail.I like the rain on the window and the frost on the wheels too. The whole image illustrates the harshness of the elements in which the tractor resides.

cool use of high contrast to emphasize the people and blow out the water. I'll be honest with you, I am not a fan of the frame - cutting the guy off on the left side really distracts me a lot.

Ok, I think I wee where you were going here. The high key with extreme contrast gives the feeling that the dog is walking on glass. But maybe it would have worked better if just that was done, without the distracting elements of the background (especially the people).

Comment by e10icus:
I've always liked this one, and can't believe there still aren't any comments on it. I love anything that has to do with the water, but the sky and the dodging/burning you appear to have had to done is, to me, very nice.

I thought it was a real attention-grabber!

Very cool idea. You're making me want to buy a fish tank and do some experimenting.

Gaussian is allowed, but spot editing isn't, so it has to be applied at the same amount across the entire image.
