    want to add that the perspective on this is outstanding. getting into almost any position other than ‘stand and shoot’ certainly adds to the character of a picture, but getting down low and right off the edge of the rope is, well, it’s just genius, that’s what it is!!

    Excellent use of selective coloring. The b/w background and foreground only help to emphasize the colorful boat and adds a good amount of drama and intensity.
