Its funny how people like you are ready to cuss and badmouth one of the greatest drivers of all time for absolutely no reason? Has the guy done something to you personally, probably not... mostly likely because he can drive and you cannot.

Actually the F1 world is divided on Michael Schumacher. No one denies he's the great F1 driver ever, but personally I don't like him. He's arrogant and has a reputation for winning at ANY cost. He has broken the rules several times and brought the sport and spirit of F1 into disruppet many times.

The bird is a manifestation of the how several fans (including myself) have felt about his antics influencing the outcome of races that he just didn't deserve to win.

It's shots like this that are so well executed in these challenges, and it will be a like this that will blue ribbon.

Everything is perfect. If I have to be hyper-critical, then the highlights on her hair are a little much, but this give me a feeling of late afteroon outside, which is great.

9 - Good luck

brighton, bournemouth, is it even in the UK?

This is a great shot, with really good comp. I personally feel it's let down by poor colour, which may well have been beyond your control.

Good luck.

This certainly is striking. You've nailed the lighting, the colurs and the comp.

It's shots like this that made me get into this in the first place.

My first 10 in 46 images.

Good luck.

Sorry, this is WAY to over processed for my personal taste. I'm sure you were going for this look...just not my taste.

Having said that, I love the comp and the elements of the imaage. Good luck.

sorry to say, a little too over processed for my personal liking which is a shame because the comp is pleasing to my eye and the focus on the subject is very good to....I just get caught up on that processing. Good luck though.

great shot, with great colour and a pleasing comp. Shame it's let down by a bit too much noise.

Thought you stole an image from my portfolio for a minute then! Then realised it wasn't....phew.... Great shot, great drama, rolling clouds mirror the rolling waves. (7)

This is a great shot.

I would like to see another one that was more about the reflection though.

Nice one.

I love this shot, but I have a question. Did you use a filter on the front of the 300D or was it applied after in Photoshop? I only ask because I think (don't quote me) photographic filters are not allowed in Basic Editing. Like I said, I'm probably wrong as no one else has mentioned it.

I love the comp. The little boat plays well with the position of the sun. This contrast in the clouds vs sky is nice. I love skys that give the feel of montion.

Congrats, and I really hope it stick.
