The tonal quality is very lovely and there is a strong emotive pull with this upload,...you romantic you.

I think this would be more emotive had the person been stronger in this.

I see where your thought process in this one,i only ment maybe slightly nearer as apposed to right in front in this,or am I alone in my thoughts.

Still26 has it right, i took this photo because he is almost gone in the distance, together with upcoming autumn leafs, it felt good with the title.

fair enough

I liked this one a lot. Congrats on your win!

good job masking the water drops. there is a long line from the fin to the nose just outside the body.

If the whale is supposed to be breaching through high clouds, I'd think about eliminating the water drops. He'd get pretty dry getting up there.

In my opinion the whale and splash are too sharp, it would be good to soften them to better integrate them into the background.

Hahaha.. I like your comments.. there so funny.. you start a discussion about if the water drops are out of place..... hmmmmm..this the Wrong place competition, is it not?????????

Although this is cliche you have done a great job. A strong entry.

Author, I find your water droplets highly offensive.. water droplets above the cloud line would be crystallized into little diamonds shaped like space ships from the warriors of the planet Koozvane in the dimension where Zoo-Zuu the emperor princess wanted to take over for her sister because she was a really nice girl and she just thought it would be appropriate to see her face on the coin of Kreplok.

Also you didn't show how a whales ears would pop at such an altitude and his blow hole would be very jealous but since the blow hole has custody of the children she didn't say anything, didn't want to muck up the waters and all that rot you know. A girl has to think about her family. Yeesh and burger crunchies.

(Great chop by the way, and I gave you a few extra points on top of everything because I'm a sarcastic old bastard and just can't stop giggling) ^5

Good score LifetimeDamage.

Congratulations my friend...

Congrats Fred
So you never managed to load your chop for the wheel contest???

A belated congrats to you too.

Good catch and I love receiving a chuckle from a photo, yours did it for me this day. If you live near here try taking this during another time of day where you will not have shadows on the doors. I like the composition too, it is a steady, well-balanced photograph with natural saturation. Yellow is always associated with happiness and excitement.

So for 5 times a day you smile. What are those gadgets in the middle of the mouth, is that a mailbox, but it looks like a computerized something?

Live long and prosper. :p

Keeping an eye on the competition?

Like the shadow, the darkness, the monochrome and the mystery.

I liked this one very much and congrats on number 3!
