Lifeboats and Lifeboat Crews

This is a really moving image. The lifeboat crew man's eyes show a deep sense of sorrow. It's like he has seen something really harrowing. You have said he has just come back and you feel it wasn't an easy job. His helmet is wet hinting at it being in the rain. The image is pin sharp, well composed and amazing in black and white, in fact it makes it. A fantastic moving image and a very creative take on the brief, well done. A very worthy winner, congratulations.

This is a really moving image. I love the composition and it is pin sharp. The colour idea of only really showing the yellow is amazing and makes the image have such an impact. For me it is a little harrowing as I get a sense of what has gone on for the crew when they are inside these outfits. A lovely moving image, well done.

I really like how you have chosen to step outside the box and have taken an amazing, unusual and interesting image. It is pin sharp and very well composed. I love the colours and tones too. A really great image, well done.

This is an exhilarating image. You can really feel the high speed they are traveling at. All of the crew show concentration on their pin sharp faces. I love the unusual angle you have chosen. I like the grey sky as it aids the view that lifeboat crews go out in all weathers. A cracking image, well done.

This is a really dramatic image. The waves are really being powered through by the lifeboat. I love how the waves come from the edge of the image and lead into the lifeboat. I also think that the lone crew member is a key part of the image which is pin sharp throughout. A great image, well done.

This image is really creative as it shows the other side of lifeboat crews lives. I love the composition of the image which is pin sharp throughout. The emotions on the crew's faces are exquisite, pin sharp and wonderful as the crew are having fun. They seem to be enjoying a dip in the sea together. Thankyou for entering such an unusual image which is in a good way personal. I say this as it is an insight into what isn't normally the image you get when you think of lifeboats crews. So really well done for an amazing image.

This image has left me in stiches. Though it hasn't quite made the top 10 it is cracking. I wondered what it was at the top so I read your comment and now I fully understand. Well done for taking such a crazy image. I don't mind you not seeing it as that is what has made this image work. It is a true moment of fun as opposed to a set up. Well done again.

This is a really moving image. The lone crew member wandering in amongst all the gulls is so moving. You have seen a really unusual image and have taken it superbly well. It is pin sharp throughout and extremely well composed. Well done for a great unique image.
