Thanks for all the comments and of course the pretty blue ribbon. I thought I might pull ahead of DrAchoo on the ribbon count with this but he went and just had to get another ribbon too :) And to you who gave me the not meeting the challenge stuff, let your minds spill out over their borders now and then, you'll learn to see a lot more in the photos you are viewing :)

I'm back.

Hitching a Ride on a Lobster Boat

Seems like I am in a critique club mood at the moment, this is already number 3 :) The crop on this image is far too tight. If you wanted to give the impression that the boat is moving then I would have left more room at the front of the boat to give a little more reality to the movement thing. It would have helped a little, but the fact there is no one in the boat at the wheel and there is no wake behind the boat kind of defeats the movement theory. At the most it could be drifting. The seagull is a good touch though. I also would have used your tele at the full 210mm to blur out the background more, bringing more attention on the boat.

Well well Bill, I got your photo to critique, isn't that a coincidence :) I will overlook the spelling mistake first of all, it seems no one saw that at all (I wonder if you noticed it yourself?)

The sepia works for me here, kind of like an old fashioned setting. Personally there is impact missing, there has to be something special about a photo that the viewer can look at and say "cool", this is impressive. If this had been my shot, I would probably have asked a little boy to sit on the side of the boat with a straw hat, old fashioned clothes and an old pole fishing rod, and legs hanging of the back of the boat, just fishing, maybe even with a piece of straw hanging from his mouth. Then I would have used your Tamron 70-300, gone back further and at the full 300mm taken the shot so that the whole background is blurred more and you just have full focus on the boat and the boy. I find that the boats in the immediate background and the land way out the back is too sharp and pulls the eye away from your main subject. Okey dokey? See you in Calgary :)
