post challenge: THANK YOU ALL. I'm so happy today, my first submit on this site and blue ribbon. And the higest score with Nikon D300. Did not even hope for that. About the title. I could lie to you all and say its the Icelandic name of the boat. But then you would see that the picture is taken in Norway, hehe so I just have to admit this is my mistake. Thank you again.

Not a lot to say about this shot. There's not really any way to improve it in any event. As pointed out, a tiny bit of movement in the bow made some of it a little less sharp but its neglible. The long shutter speed gave the water a extremely smooth appearance which I think is part of what makes this shot. The reflection is also terrific. Composition is bang on. I'd like to give the 5 people who only gave this a a 4 or 5 a slap in the head. Great entry. Congrats on the blue!
Read your comments up there, and I definitely would have lied and said that was the name of the boat. Who would have known? I'm also curious if you can give the translations for BEGINNERS LUCK! Or how about, "Let's see you do that again THIS week!" :-)
Seriously though, one of my top three for this challenge, and already making a home in my favorites. Excellent work!
About the "beginners luck" I am a beginner but about the luck, we just have to wait and see. :)
Really phenomenal shot, one of the best voting breakdowns I have seen, I would have given this a ten easily had I voted. Great simplicity, really very nice job, keep it up man. Added to faves as well.

Ohhhh, this is so beautiful! Another Iceland master, I see :) WONDERFUL! The more gifted Iceland photographers we have -- the more we get to see of that stunning country :)
CONGRATULATIONS on everything: Blue ribbon on your first challenge. 7.7 score!!!!! but mostly just coming up with something so flawlessly exquisite!
Instant favorite! One of my absolute favorite photos on this site. I hope you make it available as a print because it's stunning and would wonderful framed and hanging in a gallery or in people's (maybe my) homes.
This is a beautiful image. Love the gradient of light from top to bottom. We won't talk about the title, k - suppose it could be the 'name' of the boat!!
Uh oh...I think we have a winner. If this is not a ribbon winner I don't know what is. It's a shame the title was most likely misspelled because now it will never be able to be corrected and I think some people might vote your photo down because of the misspelling. I'm sticking with a 10 though.
Very well done, strange how the front of the boat is blurred while the rest is sharp. I'm distracted by the slight dark patches near the upper border of the photo, barely visible but they're there. Still, one of my favourites in this challenge.
