Frigid Reflection

Good sky - good boat too, though for me you would have had more impact with a focus on the ice, rather than the reflections to meet the challenge more exactly. Interesting shot though.

Stainless Steel

Reminiscent of something for me - don't know what. There's a certain quality from the early years of photography here too - an interest in form, texture, things that no-one would paint. Liek this very much.

Tea with Orange

like the confidence that allows you to leave the white space - definitely benefits the shot. And technically, keeping the camera so (nearly) invisible is an achievement. Something doesn't quite appeal about it though - at the moment not sure what - it may be the lack of depth to the shadows (deliberate I'm sure, but this is my personal prefernce, of course)

Driving on the Motorway

love the way the road winds through the frame - and one of few b&w images that seems to benefit from being so.

Boat
by Lance

Comment:
For me, such a simple (good simple) shot requires that you capture the symmetry of the boat - else there's a funny impression of distortion. The whites have flared out too - which helps the 'cleanliness' of the image, but detracts from the interest. If you'd nailed the symmetry, then the coiled rope would become a much stronger element of the shot too - paralleling and off-setting the cirular thing in the cabin roof. Very close to being a great shot.

Dancing Boots

Comment:
Like the close crop of the top of the boots - emphasises the 'from above' element nicely, and a great old trick it is too. I'm not a fan of such 'studio' photography though, but it's well done.

I'd be intrigues to know how you've got this quality into this shot - it almost looks painted! great work - for me, perhaps a little more contrast overall would have aded mystery even more. Is it a very dark shot that's been lightened hugely?

Seaside Six

Very fine shot: would have been a really interesting leading lines contender. What on earth aperture is this taken at :-) Great DOF, great tone, great subject. Great light. Winner so far

The fine filament detail here is lovely, and the light.
