"You caught a moment of haigh action which has impact, howevever the technical flaws, in graininess, blown out highlights and minimal colour range take this image out of the category of a winning image. Unles you happen to have the only shot of the prime minister picking his nosae, technical exellance is a requirment of a winning image. "

"This amage is much smaller then what is permissible on the web site and even at that it is noisy grainy and out of focus, I am sure this is an attempt at texture and patterns, but it need some more work. I always thought Blue Light was a Labatts product. "

"I like the movement of the water and the crash of the waves, they contrast nicely with the ordered structure of the pier. For me all that is sort of thrown off by the fact that horizon is not level. This happens also with your other good image "long pier""
