If it would be flipped to the normal view I would put +7.. This way - only 5.

How narrow people think! Boredom is not in the picture, it's in the head. I am bored to deth with those sculptures, even under this funny angle.

I guess for the future challenges I will stick to the literal interpretation of the theme.

Something's wrong with the majority of the voting public here.. This one had to be a winner IMO.
Cheers!

[greslizzz]: I don't really know why the result is so bad. I have published similar photos from the same session on other resources and got extremely high marks. Probably most people here considered that it is just a snapshot - there is no obvious pre-staging in the picture...

[Blackdog]: "Sea-doo" is a water motorcycle made by Bombardier, Quebec (Canada). It was so popular in the nineties that riding on the similar watercrafts made by Yamaha, Polaris and even "Jet-ski" by Kawasaki is called 'to sea-doo'. At least here, in Canada ;-)))

Thanks everyone for your comments!

I would like to explain how this was done.
The "cloudless" sky is in fact a pretty dense pre-thunderstorm fog, so the sun was not very bright. Also I had my Kokin polarizer to cut off the extra water reflections and Kokin 121 neutral gradient filter to workout the sky - thus you can see even some "clouds". The worst problem was to kill purple inner reflections from the lens coating and filters. The colors in the result are quite natural - it looked just like that.

Not really to the subject... The clouds would look much better with higher cotrast. Also some reference point is missing in the composition.

The DOF is arguable but otherwise - excellent.
