Anchors

Thanks for entering the contest. This photograph came a very close second and is the sort of image that I would like to have taken myself.. I love the way the anchor frames the quayside in the background. Also one of my passions is reflections in water and this is a great example.. The dark finish of the anchor contrasts well with the colourful painting of the cottages making for an excellent.image. Well done.

I love the structure of this photograph and the almost silhouette image of the tree framing the sunset. However, the anchor is not the main subject of the image, which is why it didn't quite make the top ten. Nonetheless an excellent photograph.. Thank You.

Thanks for entering the contest. I chose this image for it's simple lines. The anchor is clearly the subject of the photograph and it's position is accentuated by the almost line- drawing image of the boat's bow. A great capture.

First of all, Thank You, to everyone who entered the contest. The standard was very high making judging particularly difficult. However. after much deliberation, I chose this photograph as my overall winner. I find the image totally captivating. The anchors give foreground interest and the curve of the anchor leads the eye to the abandoned boat, higher up the beach.The whole makes good use of the rule of thirds and the choice of black and white gives the image a haunting feel. Congratulations.
