 Thanks for taking the time to vote and comment and thanks Georges for the Red Dragon!

I was here one morning taking pictures of some of the boats and this guy was also walking around and shooting them. I took a quick series of shots from behind him figuring they might work for this challenge. He asked if he was in my way and I told him not at all. He didn't realize he was the subject of the shot. :)

Congratulations Mark! I like your decision to use a shallow DOF, really isolates the subject very well, which was the point of the challenge.

Thanks. This one wasn't shot in HDR. Although, I did use LR to adjust the exposure in the RAW files to get more detail out of the dark areas.

Has a feel and element of Cuttooth. Like the context of the photo. One of my top picks.

Colors are really nice. The gentle waves are perfectly captured. The halo around the mountain top is a little disturbing but I won't deduct you points for that. A 9 from me and my Red dragon award.
