Judges Comments

An action shot of a boat moving through heavy seas. The slightly oblique placement of the boat and the sense that the boat is rolling give energy to the scene
while a distant background gives a sense of openness and vastness to the sea on which it is sailing. The boat itself is well exposed but the crew members on deck
are dressed in dark clothes and tend to become black blobs. There is also a very soft focus to the image possibly caused by a slow shutter speed giving motion blur.
