| Just looked at the original version of this pic, and I have to admit because of how the flash behaved I would probably have discarded that picture, I get annoyed when the flash doesn't light up the bit I want it to! I'm glad you were more persistent with it tho cos the way the flash light hits the chain adds the emphasis, and of course without the horribly lit ground in front of it. Nice one & congratulations! |

Great shot, Valera. Colors are very vibrant but not too imposing.
I just wish there was more ship in this picture. But then it would shift the emphasis.

Congrats on your blue ribbon. I probably should have commented
during the voting so sorry for this late comment.
Excellent composition, exposure is great. The fill flash is a little
too bright for my taste but that's the worst I can say about it.
Nice Work. |

| congratulations, i agree about the flash issue ... the photo would benefit even more from non-flash procedure and utilizing advanced editing options like shadow/highlight or maybe even HDR processing. anyhow ... nice photo nonetheless. keep up ! |

The only thing i don't like it appears that a flash was used to illuminate the chain and isn't consistent with the natural lighting of the rest of the shot.
Other then that its great. |

good picture though. |
Probably because the eye goes to the sails first, gets lost in their detail, and doesn't really want to drift down to the big shadowy thing where the chain actually is. It took me a few seconds to see the chain, too. Very nice photo nonetheless. |

| I hope you get a chance to go back and take a pic with out the chain and anchor in the way. Looks like the background could be gorgeous! Thinking in terms of the challenge topic, I actually think the background kind of takes away from the subject. And the flash on the chain does not blend in well with the natural lighting of the rest of the pic. I gave it a 7 irregardless because you have a lot of neat stuff here. Good luck! |
