A hidden talent Steve - you are upping the stakes here, with your wife and mother in competition with you. Great shots though - did not spot the fish. Difficult to pick a best shot here as they are all good. Composition is excellent. Cheers, Bernz

These are beautiful captures. I love the boat shots, but the first one with the chain really stands out. Great work.

Steve, I really like all of these. very interesting perspectives and colors. I like the blue and orange on your second shot, and also the inclusion of the rusty chain in the foreground of your second.

The first picture would have tempted me with the strong lines, water and fish swimming around, I like the rusting boat and the surfers having fun, the moored boat and strong foreground, lots of parallel/ other lines here, wall, rope, chain, boat, trees, horizon, I like them all Steve.
