I like the choice of B&W. Good job!

I agree...... without a tilt-shift lens, this is the best way to achieve this. Great shot.

This is a beautiful picture....... of a bolt.... not a nail.

Great shot and great setup!

Very nice!

Great job author!!! I knew if anyone could make some thing so ugly so beautiful it would be you!

I could be wrong... but is that an elephant coming in from the left?

Great catch for a hard subject!!

Very nice.

Good find... very pretty shot!!

You say at 1/3 sec? it is hard enough to get focus on something hand held let alone toss it and be able to get your subject (the head) perfect in the middle of the swirl.

So how is it that the center is in focus but the rest has a "swirl" to it???

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

Hasn't this been used before?

Looks more like a set up shot than an out of place.

Much better... good luck

Out of place??? You haven't been to our beaches LOL... Nice shot. Great idea.

I bet!! Very lucky indeed!! Great shot!

Awesome shot... so you live on Isle of Man?

Looks great... but you might want to think about the "rule of thirds" and recrop if you can.

I think she is referring to the mask

Wow.... where is this?

i guess the author is going for the "toy camera" or "hipstamatic" look?

This is awesome! Good job!!

He means that in a good way...(I think)..... but it does look black and white. Do you have the color? If so post that.

Beautiful!!!

I agree..... the black and white really works here.

Some vote to see who the author is.... Also Mods have to vote to be able to use certain features.

My guess it's from an HDR processing. I like it here.... really makes the statue stand out.

This song comes to mind: I feel pretty, Oh so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and......


You know the one.....

Good luck.... hope you can get a new one in

Not sure this fits the theme? How does he "fit" into this environment? Also... although posed.... he is not "connecting" with the camera. Not a true portrait according to goal. Try and reshoot with him looking at the camera.

Please view the hi-res!!! Well done!

Very nice capture!

Very nice!!!

Beautiful... as always!

Very well done. Looks almost 3D. Great job!!

I like this.... but it looks to be leaning a little.

Love the black ones!!!!

There is a baby in the picture????

Very cool... did you use a gradient or the eraser tool?

Beautiful and so much detail!!!!

Already used.

You didnt even change the name.

Much better!!

Love the lens flare too.

Very eerie!! But I love it!! Not bad for being handheld.

Stunning!!!!

Well done!

Fantastic. Looks so realistic.

Good job...very realistic.
