Well done everyone! Many thanks to members that entered a whopping total of 21 pictures of boats. We have a good representation of marine vessels; from 1/2 of a canoe to a battle ship - lots of variety.

Now the tough part - I have to choose a winner.



3rd Place: mingdie

Nice action shot! I like the spray of the water and the intensity on the sailors face.





2nd Place: Eaglerapids

Again, an action shot that really catches my attention! It looks like the rapids are about to swallow the boater.

It takes a lot of skill and courage to tackle rapids.
I know from first hand experience, and unfortunately, I came out the loser!

Nice shot with the boiling water and the rugged shore line.




Winner: iznogoud

This picture is simply stunning! I love the composition and colour.

Everything is perfect! Nice job.

By the way, your name does not do justice to your photographic abilities. "iznogoud"? .... Not by my measure - you are very good!



I now hand the torch over to iznogoud - your turn!

Congrats! Highly deserved!

Btw J.Scott, if I'm not mistaken, this is the origin of the name.

Iznogoud, the shot is simply amazing. The stillness and the reflection of light makes the photo priceless!

Congrads to mingdie, the photo reveals a child's adventure at heart

Thanks a lot for your kind words, guys! Really nice shots this week.

Seems I should start a new challenge now. I will pick a theme and post it later when at home, ok?
