I was going to ask what your vantage point was for this type of shot, but I see it wasn't the land so presumably you are are on some sort of boat? And don't tell me you dropped a camera+lens into the drink!

Congrats on your first ribbon! Very eerie with the mist - almost like a 20th Century ghost ship.

Really surprised this wasn't a ribbon. Still my favourite shot in the challenge.

Front page for sure. I love the way that the long exposure has not only blurred the water but the clouds as well. Great colour palette and balance to the image. The only negative I see is the object to the lower left, and I wonder whether it would be legal in advanced to clone that out with some water - but I guess the lighting reflections would make that tricky. I would still expect a ribbon for this though :-)

Front page without a doubt. The negative thing I can see is what seems to be a slightly wonky horizon which I always personally find distracting. Other than that, a near perfect image.

Great viewpoint... looks more like a dragon's eye to me though :-)

Slightly sloping horizon distracts slightly from an otherwise great shot.

Lovely image, shame about the lack of sharpness on the front rocks. Did you focus at the hyperfocal distance?

Nice scene and palette, but I really find the border distracts. The colours are fine for the border but the dimensions are over-powering. A fine pink line with a black outer about a third of the current thickness would give more balance. As it is, the border seems to equate for at least 25% of the image area, which is a shame as it's such a strong image.

Nice mood to this shot, but lacks a little clarity. Also, is that a big dust spot top right? You could clone that out within the rules.
