Thanks for the comments; much appreciated.

I did not set this image up- I was walking along Sunset Beach in Vancouver, shooting mostly skateboarders when I saw a guy and his buddy playing around on this sculpture. I had one shot and this is it.

Agree with eyewave - disappointed not to see this in the top ten at least.

Nice composition and a winning tonal glow to accent the silhouettes. Congratulations on your top 20.

Congratulations on making the top 20. Your photo received one of the three 10s I gave out (the others were for the #1 and the #6 entrants).

This shot has it all... a believable band name, an interesting subject that fits the name, great composition, and a proper (square) crop for an album cover. Unfortunately, it also has a distracting bottle and jet contrail that should have been easy to remove in Advanced Editing. A little more saturation would have been nice, too. I'll knock off 0.4 points for those errors and then round up... 10, and one of my ribbon picks. Good luck!

Cool picture! Not sure the positioning of the text worls that well - just doesn't feel balanced. I can see you've centred it ovre the arms of the sculpture but it doesn't work well there for me. The image itself I think is just great - great light, wonderfully quirky silhouette subject with interesting little details like part of a bike, the ships behind and so on.

I like! Very CD coverish to me. I like the bike on one side, the bottle of soda on the other. Interesting shot!

Nice salmon grad across the sky. Lots of potential for the site. Next time hide your bike and unfinished drink. If you could have moved the camera position to the left some and framed the terrain and tanker into the portal I think it would have helped this shot. This would probably put the sun in the frame and maybe ruined your idea. I like this one a lot. Should top ten.
