I feel that the sky is overexposed. It looks as though the lighting conditions were tough when you shot this.

By its design and color scheme it must be a lightship. Amazing how people lived aboard these ships, must have been really boring.
Nice idea for this challenge.

There was an old bridge from Nantucket ...

Original idea and very nice, technically strong photo. 7.

Nice picture of the Nantucket Lightship. I'm a west coast person from Oregon and we have the old lightship named the Columbia that used to be stationed at the mouth of the Columbia River. It is ironic that you would choose to submit it for this particular challenge when there are so many incredible bridges in the New York City area. :)

Grand Canyon Raven

Comment by srbrubaker:
Nevermore. This is my resolution each time I try to photograph the Grand Canyon. I expect that the real beauty is captured only when one gets a little way into the thing, by foot, mule, or helicopter. In any case, If one considers this to be a photo of the raven with the Grand Canyon as a scenic backdrop, the photo seems much better. But this raises the question of cropping. What if the phot were cropped severely so that the sky was no longer in the photo and the outside 10-20% of the left and right edges were gone. What if the raven sat on a 'rule of thirds' intersection? What if a longer lens had been used and the canyon had more bokeh (Or this were done in Photoshop) What if we boosted the saturation so the oranges and violets of the canyon complement the black silhouette of the bird? They are just questions. I like the photo and I imagine if I took it I'd be trying some of these ideas in Photoshop. But then I have all day...

Pink clouds

Comment by orussell:
There's definitely pink in you clouds along with orange and peach but I don't think that the pink dominates your composition. I do like your composition however and the leading lines of the shore. Your image appears to be soft througout and would benefit from being sharper, especially in the foreground.
