Tanterah!  Winners podium!

Croeso, my lovely boy!

A superb shot

I think the subtle tones, as well as the figure, catch the eye.  Very good.

A nice image and backdrop very well worked.

Mike.

A Great Image plenty of work as gone into this If Taken with a Fuji Camera Must have a Good Chance Bol

Great shot - well captured, BOL in comp

I really like the dynamics of the performer and  great timing, I'm just not sure about the BG it just doesn't seem to fit - maybe big crashing waves would pull the shot together more.

Great shot well captured and nice effect good luck

 A great fun shot that has it all spot on. VBOL from William

Nick may have been clowning around...but you certainly were not. A real "Thriller" of a picture. Very deep dark and mysterious, and very much lives up to the title in every way. Very well done. Has a real chance, in my book, up with the best of the best. BOL Basil

This one jumped (forgive the pun) right out at me in the thumbs , great work , well done

Noel,   As you took the winning pic with a S100fs you wont want another.( I Hope). Would you be willing to sell your new prize, if so, How much you want for it.

Andy

Aww, you got me Steve! You found me out!!And Pace, yus, I won before! And no, I won't be entering this month! Arf!

Thanks for all of the kind genuine comments though! Unfortunately as I found out last time, sour grapes from people is part of the package. At least nobody accused me of using a Canon (pah ftttf) this time!

Noel

Nice shot, very effective. Perhaps it should have been called  "Where's my horse gone?".

I am quite sure that this image is edited in Photoshop or any other image editing software. If you all look the image care fully you can easily understand the light n shade of the person and the sea is not same. I think picture of the person cutted from different image and just paste it into the sea image. That’s why the detail of the image is not showing. Generally when ever you will post a original image, then automatically the details of that image, like camera model, time, aperture and so on will be visible automatically.

<strong>I just want to know is it a photography competition or Image editing competition. </strong>Through software anyone can make a picture beautiful. I am a graphic designer so it’s not new to me. I know very well how one can edit a picture like this.

<strong>I don't think this kind of image should be granted for this competition. If you have any kind of doubt then all you can ask any Graphic designer, I am sure he/she can unearth the truth in front of you.</strong>

Bluerain as I have previously stated this image was NOT composited in photoshop although some tweeking was done to lighting and the sky.

I know, I held the flash head ..it was aimed directly at Nick(slighlty from the side) giving the 'forced flash' effect to his body(Which incidently was painted white for an earlier'mime' shoot I did with him) this is possibly why the skin tone is confusing you.

Should you wish I am sure Noel can send you a scaled down version of the original image for you to judge for yourself
