Final Entry

When the Tide Turns

Coastal swimmer at Clevedon in Somerset on a really stormy day...the waves were coming over the sea wall later in the evening. The guy contemplated for about 5 minutes without moving, then came back, got changed and went home. Took this on a compact so adjusted the curves slightly (and converted to B&W) to balance the exposure, bit rushed though to get the entry in. Will have another go sometime soon.
 
Arg, July already. I meant to take more piccies. Ahh well.

Cheers for thumbnail duty mr craggs.

the more I look at this shot the more i like it. very cinematic and nice juxtaposition created entirely by the movement between shifty character and bright phone booth. The muted colours are awesome too. Well captured.
2. tom_craggs - When the Tide Turns
strong, atmospheric photo, the motion of the waves against the still subject works fantastically well and asks all sorts of questions. it's technically very well executed too; excellent control of shutter speed.
3. firky - Stop
really nice frozen action, makes a change from blurs and stands out against the great location.

I really liked all of b.young's photos but they didn't quite convey movement as much as some of the others for me, Paulie Tandoori - Hold On Tight!!!!, alef - swings
