And the Future Lay Before us

Nice juxtaposition of old/new, good choice to have the ship in the foreground seemingly heading for the shore. To be really picky, I'd say I'd like to see more detail in the shadows of the ship, and maybe have a sharper focus on the ship too, but really I think this is overall a great composition and the best of the bunch.

The silhouette of the tongue, I think, is what really gets me cracking up. Great capture!

Very nicely composed, I like how the footbridge leads you into the expanse. I think if the bridge was dead-on, rather than at an angle as it is here, it would not have been as effective.

This looks like a Vermeer - skillfully executed update of a classic. I like how it combines the mundane and the sensual.

Great leading lines, nice "finish" to the whole image - I'd call it chrome. :) I could stare at this all night. It makes me think of silent movies.

This looks like an Impressionist painting. Superb.

I think this is gorgeous, and has an impressive tonal range. I wonder though if b&w was the better choice - if there's a color version of this shot it would be interesting to see it to compare. Maybe the tonal variation in the foreground shows up in better detail in color; then again, this might be one of those images best viewed on a larger scale and not a little 4x6 box on my screen. :) In any case, my wondering doesn't hurt your vote any. Great shot!

Strangely compelling. I hope you explain how you got the shot in your description, I'm very curious to know.
