Very abstract, lovely

Ok Thank you. I was worried. Lol

Oooo i see. Last question. Is this cow supposed to be for food? I dont see ne meat on it.

This is so cute and nice clarity! Though I never agree with the tagging it's still an awesome shot.

congratulations on "gold"... a very deserving photo for sure.

Congrats!

Congratulations on the win!!!

Congratulations on 1st place, great shot

what a great photo... the player in the air is a great "action" shot, great aperture and shutter speed. colors are great and it is tack sharp. the player is kicking "into" the picture, everything is great... very well done

LOL Love it!

Great shot, the framing could be better if the frame did not crop the feet.

great shot, I love the focus around the eyes.

Very nice photo!

Nice shot

Cute

Congratulations.

Awesome shot crisp, and tasty ;D

Great shot with exposure etc. ...but what's the object that's both in and out at the same time?

Well done !

yup me too on the cubs. Great times for sure. Great shot and good luck to you Author

Ah Memories of my days in Cubs -- so very long ago -- made Senior Sixer -- great image by the way

Looks yummy.

Great Job on his part!!! And he is a handsome young man!

Nice shot ! I should have cropped it a bit under the metallic "sphere/circle" at the right to keep less grey parking area. Doing that, your force line will be placed at almost 1/3 of the picture and will make it more strutured.

nice photo, good luck.

gr8 pose.... but m not satisfy with background color.... is messing up chicken.....

Lovely setup and photograph

This is precious! Good luck.

very cute, great photo

nice use of the lighting and DOF

what a view and what shot, wonderful

Just a question.... but what is supporting the "dock"?

The smaller photos, loose a lot of quality, which is why I always push for High Res

A superbly processed HDR! There seems to be a bit of jpeg artifacts from the image compression when viewed in high-res mode but I don't see why that would affect any persons opinion of this photograph. The tones are perfectly exposed throughout the scene. Well done!

A pier is not a boat dock, period. Just because it is over water does not make it a pier. The keywords are "Bridge, building supports, and walkway." Stairs or a ramp leading to something floating on the water is not a pier. Close, but no kewpie doll, regardless the location.

Nice photo, I would crop some of the sea, as at the moment the ship is too high in the frame, IMO

It HAS to be over water and at some point end over the water, is the only main rule.
This is fine Author IMHO.
Very nice shot and good luck to you.

I've always considered docks and piers the same thing and I've lived on water my whole life. They don't connect to anything and both just stick out over water for viewing or fishing or whatever pleasure... of course here the homeless take grounds under it for a place to sleep.
Author: I see what you mean but I think you would have had more focus on the pier on with how you have things placed if the boat wasn't such a dominant color. What do you think? The eyes are going to go to the dominance of the picture then browse around imo. Still love this though. It's a great job that I'm envious of

"A pier is a raised structure, including bridge and building supports and walkways, over water, typically supported by widely spread piles or pillars." I don't think a dock is the same thing, is it? (Here in the mountains, you don't see many piers, so I'm not sure...)

The focus seems to be more on the boat than the dock but wow what an excellent hdr! I love the mood here as friiskiwi said.

Beautiful photograph, lovely mood.

scary, great shot.

I love the graffiti wall, fits the scene really well.

its too dangerous.... nice click author.....

Be carefull...

I have to agree with the author here...everytime i see apples at the market, they are in a bag, many of them, packed together or in barrels and tubs..

take a shot of something we usually find in a large quantities closely packed together

Great light graffiti effect - and it matches very well with the "magic" theme Well done

great composition!

pretty cool pic

Wonderful, so well done.
