Neal R Thompson MD	Nice capture of silhouettes and quite obviously the person in the boat is either angry or instructing with his arms upraised.  Ripples in the water help and the vignette is perfect.
Dennis Hirning, PPSA	It looks like the instructor was taking the lazy method of getting out there to teach. The three boats works well but I wish that there was a little more distance between the instructor's boat and the one in front of it. I think that I might like to see this with a little less vignette.
Maria Drumm	Very interesting. I like the title too. The composition is very well balanced. I am not so sure if I like the stark contrast but it does keep the focus on the center. I think that adding some “noise” might improve the total image.
Timothy D. Morton	As a feel of one the Peterson Photographic Books from the 1970's and thus captures the feel of photography and fine the lines are wondeful.
Shahron Williams von Rooij	The vignetting and filter make an otherwise plain image quite interesting. The location of the trainer vs the other boats creates a nice symmetry and the textures give the feel of a b&w etching. Nicely done.
Mohamed Terzaki	Very successful manipulation resulting in a beautiful dramatic effect the lifted hands of the instructor together with the listening couple and the exhausted couple made the story.

Sol Blechman - Biography My lifelong photography journey started with a Kodak Duoflex camera presented to me for my 12th birthday. Some 54 years later I find my Canon 20D (with all kinds of equipment in between) a wonderful replacement. I also use a Canon G6 for "easy" work or when I feel lazy about carrying SLR equipment. It has been a pleasure to replace the dark room, the chemicals and the long hours washing prints with digital imaging. Many of my pictures are taken while traveling but I also believe in the old saw about finding shots in your back yard. So birds, flowers and landscapes near home about equal the people, foreign places and objects I shoot while away. I am printing now on an Epson 2200 mostly for our local camera club. When we started with digital work a few years ago there were only a very few of us working in digital. Now the category has grown many times over and is the dominant format in the club.
