Beautiful portrait Ben. Congrats on a great challenge and getting on the front page. You are an inspiration.

Well, at least you finished Top 10 in your own challenge. I don't think Ansel Adams did as well in his.

I was one of your 8's. There was something about this picture that just made me...smile.

I thought this was you. Really sweet the song of the fishie man and his swinging fishies.

Glad you managed top 10 in your own challenge! Well done, great image.

You know, I really appreciate your style and have studied it a lot during this challenge and wouldn't have picked this as yours .. but it is such an excellent shot that I should have .. I just don't have the eye .. YET :) Congrats on your top 10 finish in an very challenging entry cause this bspurgeon guy is a tough act to follow :)

Clever but also a great portrait. The best one in this challenge.

I can hear the sound of the fish as they flop on the pier floor. And I remember the story of your dream. A very Spurgeon-esque photograph. :-)
Post actions
It would be cool if this one won the silver fish award. The moment captured and the processing make this a great fit for the challenge.
Post actions
wonderful portrait, great composition, great capture.

Lucky boy, unlucky fish. Great Ben a like shot, nice toning.

What a great photo! "I could just drift, he thought, and sleep and put a bight of line around my toe to wake me. But today is eighty-five days and I should fish the day well." quote from The Old Man and the Sea.

We called it "making bait" and yup, those be mackerel, not sturgeon :-)

Even though on the face of it I don't see this as being in the traditional style of Ben, I do think this is you Ben. Something about it (thinking of your last free study I suppose) makes me think it is. Plus the title of course. If it's not, then well done for fooling me into thinking it is Ben!

Flat out magnificent picture; would get a 10 in a Free Study from me. Only fair to bump you up from 9 to 10 here,
Post actions
Nope. But I can taste the salt on my lips and smell the sea in the air. Has the flavor of old times pictures.
Post actions
This is such an old fashion image. The subject is someone out of an adventure novel. Terrific capture, and I really like the sepia tone.
Post actions
But you may be a Bspurgeon. That hand holding the fishing pole at the upper left is genius. Great composition. I can feel the salty air.
Post actions
Back to comment... Plus points for the humor! LOL!
Post actions
Ha!! The most apt picture in the challenge, I do believe. Well done tones and contrast. He looks so proud!
Post actions
Brilliant image, straight into my fav's.
Post actions
Wonderful photo. I can feel the weather. The 3 fish are puzzling and fascinating.
Post actions
this is great, love that we can still see his hand, a truly excellent catch. 8

Love the pun. The marginal framing reminds me of some of Ben's recent shots.
Post actions
This is an excellent photograph. Perfect timing.
Post actions
