One is drawn to this monochrome photograph. You have good contrast, shape and texture showing and that is a plus for monochromatic shots. There is good tonal contrast also...black to white and much in between. Furthermore, there is a nice quality of light here, meaning it is soft and diffused but the patterns and texture of water easily picked up.

thanks olga

Ahhhh so this one was yours. Good one, liked it.

Congrats Brian

Nice Brian a good shot. Congrats.

thankyou

What instantly drew me to this entry was the warm colour palette, you shot this during golden hours. The sharpness is present through all the planes and that triangle goes on and on into the horizon line. You took the horizon to the 2/3rd and 1/3rd rule and produced a spellbinding image that warms us and takes us on a visual journey. Tonal contrasts are well done giving this image further depth.

This is a photograph from a mind who thinks out of the box. Catching shadows so well, the triangular seat to follow the contest rules, the oil stain above in the frame that marries well with the title you have provided. Please remember that titles DO MATTER especially if you have a gallery showing it means that the title can either make your sale or break it. The only catch I have is I do wish the triangular seat was a bit sharper. Before I cast my vote I will study your image in hi-resolution. Love your thought process and your pov is strong and unusual.

Thank You very much...
Exactly the sweat thing came from that oil stain.
I thought it would be perfect to add the word SWEAT to it.
And yes..!! I'm always in search of story.
But sometimes adding a title feels awkward to me. I only put a title when its hard to know the story of the picture or where I'm presenting it.
Picture that tells no story, well it's hard to capture then to tell.. 😂😂

Oh.!! the seat was a bit out of focus.
My phone is of f/2.8 (seriously 😞)... but I don't know how it manages to supply some beautiful close ups with good blured background. 😂😂
