What a great sky. I like the way you've caught the wake from your boat in this shot.

Great shot and B&W.

Nice b&w. I'm this close to saving. The problem? The spray at the bottom. It is too large a block of white and it distracts from the wonderful swirls of foam on the rest of the water.

I kinda agree about that spray at the bottom, but everything else is so damn awesome, I barely even notice that.

I think this one would benefit from a schmear of crop. You could take out the incriminating second wake and move the horizon off dead center. Other than that, makes me want to be a drug runner in the Keys.

Very good shot indeed, great textures and good depth. Needs to be cropped though.

It's dramatic, but I feel like that boat is cruising through a sea of computer-generated turmoil. I think it's too dramatic, for me.

No poets left in this world. Today, all you get is prose.

Ursula Pfitzer says:

There's no such thing as too dramatic!
Posted 41 months ago. ( permalink )

moominmolly says:

But the boat! The boat isn't dramatic, really, at all. There's something off, to me -- maybe if the boat was MORE dramatic, or the sea and sky slightly less, I wouldn't feel kind of put off.

Oh, just call me a poet-killer and be done with it! :)

Don't think B&W is of good use here - the clouds look good but I'd like to it in colour...

Ursula Pfitzer says:

But the boat looks like it's fleeing a dramatic storm, which, in turn, adds a sense of drama to the boat as well. Fleeing for its life from the foreboding thunderclouds chasing behind.

Blablabla, I'll just go drink more beer.

Tom Q says:

I left the wake in to enhance the sense of speed - this shot was taken at 45 knots, and I wanted to convey that feeling. I also purposely posted a shot with the boat overwhelmed by its surroundings - that's sort of the point here.

This one comes very close to a save. The boat needs more detail.

Hey, anybody for a "saveme"? Drinks on the house!

I like this slightly surreal mixture of action, perspective, drama (Sky) and B/W old-scool treatment. Realy nice.

I've been seeing a lot of the word "random" around here lately. "his expression seems random" "the sky seem random" "the composition is random". I'm really beginning to hate that word.

moominmolly says:

You should actually compose something randomly, then. (It is a terribly overused word.)

Tom Q says:

Damn. Nature is such a random thing. I wish those clouds/waves were less random...

I agree that the splash of the boat gives a sense of speed but if it was in colour it would have been more obvious, Great b&w though!
