lol very nice.

Here's one definition. But I don't think that's what we are looking for:
speak·er noun \ˈspē-kər\

1. a : one that speaks; especially : one who uses a language
b : one who makes a public speech
c : one who acts as a spokesperson
2 : the presiding officer of a deliberative assembly
3: loudspeaker

I think it's safe to say that no one was thinking about entering any photos of Nancy pelosi, even though we didn't have a dictionary to support it. But here's the definition for loudspeaker:

tornado's are pretty scary like in Oklahoma it becomes a normal thing lol

nothing like splitting hairs people.
this is a dang speaker and you need amplification to run any speaker.
so this is an amplifier that emits sound in 1 unit.
modular if you will. amp and speaker in 1 box.

I did look it up. Definition of a loudspeaker is a device that amplifies noise. The contest theme is "Speakers" not "Loud speakers". The speaker is still in the center of the amp, out of view in the photo. I can see the amp that makes it a "loudspeaker" but once again, contest theme is "speakers", not "loudspeakers". It would have made for a really artistic and unique entry IF you put the focus on the speaker in the center of the amp and just off to one side and the guitar off to the other side in the BG just focused enough to tell what it is, rather than behind the amp. Just re-shoot it.

Good DOF shot

The "speaker" isn't really the focus of the shot. The dials etc seem to be.

I agree with jawsh, this is more about the switches than the speaker.

Don't you think it might be more effective to get a shot of the speaker in the amplifier and not just the amplifier?

Very nice... but I think I would crop a bit off the bottom

Nice DOF

Nice 1! GL!

Nice work

My opinion is that the boats are the focus here, sure the sunset is prevalent but as a background, not as the subject. If this were entered into a sunset contest someone would say that the boats were the main focus not the sunset.

pretty!

The colours in the sky look oversaturated to me

a good topic for debate methinks.

It's better! Must be scary, i'm glad I don't live in a tornado area !

Wow, kinda look like fire. Ho and I agree with Friiskiwi, I would crop the picture a bit. Good luck.

Nice job not having your own reflection be too intrusive. Might crop a little from the left, and just a tiny bit from the top. Cool shot, though

Beautiful but the sunset rather than the boats are the main focus.

This is a great shot, but I would crop it a little closer for a better effect.

Fantastic shot, author !

I like this, but the horizon could be straightened ever so slightly.

I love this! Such clarity and color!

wow beautiful =)

i favourite it because I like the feeling...the night life...

very geometric. Nice colors

Good take on "railing"

The high res is good

Lol Art is still art, whether you can draw realistically or not Keep that in mind

Would have liked to see the focus on the HP.

Great shot, would like to have seen the trolley more front & right..

Nice coloring

I like the color. This bright red in the middle of the forest is kind of weird, humans have strange ideas sometimes haha, good luck
