I did not set this image up- I was walking along Sunset Beach in Vancouver, shooting mostly skateboarders when I saw a guy and his buddy playing around on this sculpture. I had one shot and this is it.

This shot has it all... a believable band name, an interesting subject that fits the name, great composition, and a proper (square) crop for an album cover. Unfortunately, it also has a distracting bottle and jet contrail that should have been easy to remove in Advanced Editing. A little more saturation would have been nice, too. I'll knock off 0.4 points for those errors and then round up... 10, and one of my ribbon picks. Good luck!
Cool picture! Not sure the positioning of the text worls that well - just doesn't feel balanced. I can see you've centred it ovre the arms of the sculpture but it doesn't work well there for me. The image itself I think is just great - great light, wonderfully quirky silhouette subject with interesting little details like part of a bike, the ships behind and so on.
Nice salmon grad across the sky. Lots of potential for the site. Next time hide your bike and unfinished drink. If you could have moved the camera position to the left some and framed the terrain and tanker into the portal I think it would have helped this shot. This would probably put the sun in the frame and maybe ruined your idea. I like this one a lot. Should top ten.
imma go out on a limb and call this the winner, and i haven't seen half of the entries yet. a solid photo on its own, and tons of impact as a cover. nicely done.
