why on earth didn't you take advantage of being able to submit this at 720 pixels. incredible image that will undoubtedly score less than it deserves, simply because of its size. what a shame.

I don't care much for the comp of this but it's a neat subject and I like the mist a lot.

I guess that is some kind of early morning mist drifting across the image. I would have preferred the shot without that as it makes the image a bit hazy. I would have preferred to see the details of the bridge and the pillars in front more clearly. Nice composition nevertheless.

Great atmmosphere!
03/17/2009 03:17:37 AM
go philly! nice mist
03/16/2009 11:42:08 PM
I love the bridge in the distance, majestic, yet barely seen through the mist. I have always like the aspect ratio that you get from long focal lengths like this. A very good image.
03/16/2009 06:03:58 PM
great atmosphere but fog obscures your subject.
03/16/2009 06:18:56 AM
interesting prespective and capture
03/16/2009 03:12:14 AM
Well captured and presented. The mist and light levels are very pleasing. Thanks.
03/16/2009 12:52:25 AM
Great reflections and perspective.
03/15/2009 10:56:09 PM
The fog really adds to the atmosphere of this photo
03/15/2009 10:49:17 PM
looks a little flat
03/15/2009 09:20:07 PM
lovely
03/15/2009 06:54:46 PM
Nice patterns
03/15/2009 06:39:10 PM
Surreal looking capture. Well done.
03/15/2009 02:43:30 PM
cropping up from the bottom would have helped imo. brought the boater closer to the viewer
03/15/2009 12:05:30 PM
Cool fog/mist, nicely seen.
03/15/2009 05:28:45 AM

I wish it could be cropped a little closer....I do like the pilars framing it but maybe it could have been a tidge closer?
03/14/2009 09:55:53 AM
Love the size of the bridge against the small figure.
03/14/2009 09:18:33 AM
Beautiful capture. I'd love to see alternates of the sculler up close in the fog.
03/13/2009 08:28:02 PM
I like the rower fading off into the distance but I do find teh water in the foreground to be a distraction. I would crop more of it out. Almost to the base of the piers.
03/13/2009 07:54:48 PM
cool bridges, the rower is the perfect addition to this scene to tie it all together
03/13/2009 07:51:01 PM
Looks like a cold morning to be on the water. Nice mood.
03/13/2009 06:31:34 PM
I like the ripples in the water. I think the vertical structures on this side of the rower are a bit distracting. Maybe a tighter crop to bring more focus on the sculler. Don't know, just an idea.
03/13/2009 06:11:09 PM
I find that the bridge pillars provide nice scale. I am sure this looks even better full size.
03/13/2009 04:32:27 PM
Very nice
03/13/2009 03:55:57 PM
Fantastic composition.

What a beautiful morning to take out a scull.
03/13/2009 11:46:25 AM
Love the settling fog! Beautiful capture! 8
03/13/2009 10:33:27 AM
i think this is an image that would benefit from a black border, it's so misty and dreamy that gets lost on the grey DPC background. nice capture, i like the feeling in the image!
03/13/2009 09:33:13 AM
Almost looks like a black and white in the foreground and a polaroid in the back..
03/13/2009 09:11:17 AM
I like the way the skuller looks so small and vulnerable
03/13/2009 06:50:39 AM
love the rower disappearing into the mist, the soft b&w tones really give a relaxing feel to this
03/13/2009 03:04:48 AM
try crop out must of the water at the bottom and make it a panoramic format
03/12/2009 11:17:20 PM
Beautiful misty view. I like the soft light.
03/12/2009 05:58:35 PM
Interesting, moody capture, but I'd like to see a larger subject to grab my eye. I'd be willing to bet that I'd like this one as a large print. Unfortunately, the DPC size allowances makes this one too small for me.
03/12/2009 04:33:30 PM
Extremely interesting. I just want to look at it and look at it. Everytime I do I see something else different in the tone, texture, and composition.
03/12/2009 03:00:39 PM
Skookle Sculler...It's fun just saying it!
03/12/2009 02:29:22 PM
Very nice shot. Like they are cutting through the fog.
03/12/2009 02:20:05 PM
Good pic. I like the water trail behing the subject.
03/12/2009 11:29:31 AM
Nicely done
03/12/2009 09:22:52 AM
Love the boater. Nice fog and cool perspective.
03/12/2009 09:13:24 AM
this image would have worked a lot better if the bottom would be cropped more,
03/12/2009 01:57:08 AM
Wow the person looks so small in this shot, nice job showing us our prespective in the world.
03/11/2009 10:58:57 PM
SPU had a sculling team and they'd practice on the canal that ran next to the university. Nice fog, bridge, lighting.
03/11/2009 09:53:28 PM
Love the fog, mood and reflections from the bridge. The rower just pushes this over the edge from cool to sweeet.
03/11/2009 08:59:03 PM
Wonderful composition and reflections.
03/11/2009 07:25:37 PM
Great use of leading lines.
03/11/2009 02:58:13 PM
Bridges and fog, one of my favorite subjects.
I would have cropped closer to the the left pillars and worked the leading lines of the wake a bit more, but it is a very good image
03/11/2009 02:55:16 PM
nice location...like the fog, what a peaceful morning/day...give off a good mood feeling for me
03/11/2009 07:20:08 AM
The columns in the shot don't really help , they distract instead, a little too much going on on with the ripples and all.
03/11/2009 05:42:24 AM
Very interesting composition...
03/11/2009 02:42:19 AM
What an intriguing shot! Really made me stop to figure out what I was looking at.
03/11/2009 01:01:49 AM
The mist is beautiful, and often so hard to capture well. The subject looks so dwarfed by is surroundings, and so peaceful.
