Geoff Hunt print for background (he did the Patrick O'Brien novel covers), some old block I found years ago. Tried a bunch of stuff with lighting. Post processing, edited out a part of a box in the lower left corner that was holding it up, adjusted color and contrast and cropped.

I really like this, nice colors and textures, the foreground subject is crisp but doesn't look oversharpenned. For some reason the proportion of foreground subject to background strikes me as a bit off, needing less bg and more subject; or maybe it would look just a little bit better if the bg was closer to being in focus. Good shot, hope it does well for you.

This is a very nice idea. I like the lighting, and good detail on the block. Fits the challenge very well, and yet is creative also. I don't like how the block is cut off though, perhaps if you showed all the hook and a tad bit more of the bottom.

if you had cropped the area above this it would be in my opinion an outstanding photo

VERY creative & Original. I like how you put the ship in the background, it definitly adds to the appeal. You've taken a semi-interesting object & made it a great photo, nice work, you get a 10 from me! Good luck, I hope to see more of your work when the challenge has finished!

Interesting. Nice Background. The crop is a bit too high IMO. I'd have cropped it under the shadow of the uppermost sail. 7.

This photo has such story potential, the colour, the contrast of material and subject, but you stopped about half way.

Composition: 7, I want to see more of the block, and maybe some rope.
Technical: 8, A little deeper DOF would be nice, still blurred but not quite so severe.
Appeal: 7
Challenge: 10
Overall Calculated Average Score: 8

I like the rugged pulley and hook. The weathering shows that it still works well through time. Can't help but think that the ships behind the hook are just a picture.

I like this idea, and scored it well. That said, if feels a little cramped. I think you might have crowded a bit too much in the lower half of the frame. Good job though.

Very Nice picture, 7!

You had a great idea and title, but the ship's rigging in the backgrould is so out of focus, it just doesn't work. The bottom 1/3 of the image is nicely composd and exposed - perhaps that's what you should have submitted.
