Congratulations! I'm a little tired of seeing these San Diego shots while we're having record cold temperatures in DC.

Wow! Looks like something out of an old Errol Flynn movie. ca 1950's. The tones and detail in the ship's wheel are superb. I like every bit of this image...

Great wheel. I like the black and white. I think I would have preferred this shot without the person, as he takes the spotlight away from the wheel.

Originally I felt this picture was too busy for my liking. But I've come back to it time and time again and it's grown on me. It's a very "geometric" picture, with lots of lines and shapes, and while it looks busy, it's actually starting to appeal to me. If the wheel was any smaller, it would get way too lost in all this, but with such a prominent wheel, it manages to hold its own quite well! Just love the texture of the wood in the wheel and the rivets give it some added dimension of complexity to let the eye look at.

Great processing, the guy looks like a real sailor with his striped shirt and scarf. 9

Great image like the authentic feel.

this image works really well in B/W. I wish the left side of the wheel wasn't cut off, but other than that I like it. Great Exposure.
Post actions
Sharp in every way. Great composition and extremely well processed to get some very nice tones and B&W range. Great stuff.
