Yet another example of why you are high on my list of favorite photographers. Interesting to note that none of your votes are below a 5....how often does THAT happen!!!! Rare indeed...;-)

The contrast here is much better than your motivational poster entry, but i'm not sure if I like the composition quite as much- it could just be the frame in the other one that attracted me. Still, amazing shot.

Very good image. The black & white, the lighting and composition - all top notch. An image to be proud of. Good luck in the challenge.

Perfect timing and cropping. Sharpness and shadows/contrasts are great.

This looks metallic - amazing. Beautiful swirls indeed.

I am distracted by the lack of ability to see the faces.

This is really gorgeous. My only nit is the blown out area in the boat's front area, but it's minor compared with the movement, lines and patterns in this photo. 9.

Beautiful symmetry. WOW - the tones are perfect. I guess to make it as exactly balanced as it should be, you'd have been a bit to the left so that you are looking straight on. Really nice though.

Could this be by hotpasta I wonder? Reminds me of his motivational poster. Not as good as that one, but still a good photo. I find the front of the boat is too bright.

This has a pleasant feel similar to a hotpasta shot from a recent challenge. Great detail and cool patterns. The B&W conversion works well. 8

good capture, swirls are very appealing. contrast is too high, edges show a lot of pixelation from sharpening.
