This one goes to show how well a pic will do if it's unique and not seen before (or not much). Now imagine if the shot actually included a boat or ship on this thing!! It would win for sure! Great job.

Awesome structure. I personally would have used a polarizer to darken the sky a bit.

Great POV and lighting. It's my pick for a ribbon. Where is this?

This is the most amazing looking machine. It's a boatlift? Wow. I'd love to see it in action. Beautiful composition in the photo.

Excellent subject matter. Looks like a pretty complicated piece of machinery. Does the boat sit in the box to be lifted and is the box filled with water at the time? I would love to see this baby in action. Nice sky and I love the textures of the mchine. Good luck.

Wow never seen one of these before. Would have been even better capturing it with a ship on this contraption.
