| This is gorgeous. Last night I watched the Black Beard movie and loved the large ships from that era and truly wish I could have the opportunity to photograph one. And here today I come into your portfolio and there is one up for view. Coincidental? |

Really glad you got a ribbon here, in an amazingly tough field. I had my favourite three picked out for ribbons and had this as the Blue. I was close, and the other two I picked came lower than I thought by quite a bit.
However, the Blue and Red were just as well deserved.
Absolutely amazing shot here, well done :) |

HOLY CRAP!
I honestly had no idea this would fall in the top three. I hoped it would be in the top ten considering the competition in this challenge.
In as far as my initial comment here, those were the first words I expressed to myself and still find them appropriate.
For those that were curious, here is the color version:
And no, no dodging or burning was done on either shot.
What can I say. Thank You All!
Just being able to participate in this challenge was honors enough.

| This is an image with that rustic feel of the deep blue seas. The angle brings to mind those pirate movues where the music thunders as the camera is raised. The sky here proved very opportuned to give it that grit and sense of great expanse. I adore sepia and this subject lends itself for the overall effect. Great angle. You have my 8 |

It end suddenly, but - on the other hand - I have no idea, what was hapenning below. Maybe there was something spoiling the whole composition. Excellent choice of making it a B&W picture. |

Though the focus is on the sail, I still find myself wanting to see more of the ship, so you may consider cropping more so I don't have that desire, or including more of the ship, or ignoring me and congratulating yourself for a marvelous photo! |

| Good choice to go with b/w for a tall ship photo as it lends to the age of the ship. Sharp details of the clouds and the ship sails, masts and riggings. Border is a bit too thick, in my opinion, but it seems to fit in fairly well here and match the overall tone of the photo. 9 |

| gr8 image, i love the play on the sails with the light, i believe that it gives a gr8 effect overall to this image :) it looks so surreal and the clouds are wonderful... the only possible change possible and thats after looking really hard at this image is toning down the brightness in the bottom left corner.... though overall this is an amazing image that i believe should be very well placed.... |

| Reminds me of the movie master and commander. I am a huge NFL Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan, too. ;) I really like the feeling this photo puts out. I like the B&W choice and the lines and textures are awesome. Great sky as well. A well deserved 10 here. |

| This is my favorite photo of the challenge! My only 10. I love the sails and the supports holding it up, as well as the sky. Looks absolutely amazing with the color scheme. 10 |

| i love the angle of this shot, the diagonals in it, the lines and the curves, the mood, the colours, the aura and the feeling of it. you can almost smell the sea and hear those ship bells toll. i love it. i hope it does very well in this masters' challenge. |

| A terrific angle for this shot. It feels as if this great ship is out to sea. The choice of B&W is an excellent one and helps to accent the feeling you are trying to get across. |

| Wonderful shot. Contrast and exposure are perfect. The clouds are impressive, and the clarity of the lines, and the shadows against the sail manage to create a true sense of the complexity aloft on a vessel. At once, the sepia tone gives an older feel, while the clarity of the shot gives a distinctly modern, mathematical, geometric feel. |

| This is one of VERY few 10s I've ever given out. The elements and perspective are very unique, use of b/w emphasizes the lines beautifully and the contrast between the soft lines of the sky and the sharp rigging of the boat create a perfect image. I hope you put this on DPC prints and it brings you success. |

| This is great. I really like the angle because it adds to the height of the mast. The clouds look great and dramatic, and the B&W really suits the photo well. 10 |

| probably not much you could have done about it, but the composition seems a little smushed ... a wider angle (looks pretty wide already) would have given the subject a little more room. cool boat :) |

| Nice use of monotones. I really like the composition - the diagonals and verticals created by the masts and the rigging almost appear to physically connect the subject to the right side of the frame. Wish I could offer some suggestions, but I have none. One of my favorites this round. |

| Great, fantastic atmosphere, great choice of toning of the image. Such a sailing ship can really give a messy image with all the ropes going across, but I think you have managed to use that to your advantage here. The diagonals created by the sails, the line of the mast, the ropes and then on top of it the lines in the sky all add to a well composed image. Congrats. |

This is an absolutely *stunning* photograph. I've, personally, never seen a ship's mainsale photographed from this angle, and it, with the clouds and sky, combine for one of the most striking images I've seen. The mix of open space and the confusion of the wires on either side of the sail is also pretty powerful. The lighting is subtle.. kind of haunting.. as if it is hinting of an approaching storm.
Great work. |
