    I like the effect that the perspective of the water makes.
    I took the liberty of recropping a little and adjusting a few things. (hope you don't mind).

    Small crop from left and from bottom to even out the sides.
    Curves=>Linear Contrast preset
    and a 15% smart sharpen

    OH Tatiana...you know what this reminds me of?? It reminds me of the opening scene in the early versions of the 'Gilligan's Isle" when they were in black and white! Now I have the theme song stuck in my head!!

    Great image.

    I like this entry better than the flower one. As somebody mentioned, I have a feeling there might be bunch of flower entries which will make it difficult for your flower entry to stand out. This one is a neat image!

    First, thank you so much guys for your comments.

    I'm sorry I haven't reply, but for few days I haven't had an Internet connection.

    I modified my masts photo by adding some clouds to it. What do you think?

    Masts:

    However, in the meantime, I had the opportunity to take some more shots:

    The gallery shot is terrific. thumb.gif IMO, that's the strongest image for this challenge of those you've shown us thus far. I love the curve and the perspective. They make for a visually interesting journey through the photo. The reflection in the glass frames are also pretty cool.

    Hello Photobug...

    Amazing work... I see you have been out bugging... lol

    here are my favs in order of favorite..

    # 1 - The Gallery
    # 2 - The Chair
    # 3 - The silhouette.

    All of these are very strong... there is something very pro looking about the chair.. It is so simplistic and clean and well composed.... if it was not for the wow factor of the Gallery, the chair would be my next choice..

    The silhouette is just plain creative and beautiful.. If you decide to publish that or use it for the contest, I would darken up the shadows a bit..

    Nice Job Missy...thumb.gif

    Gallery!

    By the way, many nice shots in this thread. The masts made for a great shot, but then you came back with more!
