St John's Newfoundland, Canada.
Taken with my old Sony DSC-F717. I have a Nikon D80 now and am on the learning curve for that camera. This snap was likely taken on full auto because I was an ignorant photographer... well, as far as the camera was concerned.
This snap is not as pretty as many in this post, but this is the "seascape" near this fabulous city... and my home province. If you've never been... go.
You folks sure take some nice snaps. When I grow up, I want to be as good as you!

Gone Fishin'
I've been reading around MR for a few months, and this contest made me finally click that register button! Hope I'm doing this right.

Hauling Caplin
Photo taken a couple of summers back, again with my old Sony DFC-F717. This shot from a community called Champney's East, on the NE coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
This lad was "casting" for a small seasonal saltwater fish called Caplin. We use the fish for food, fertilizer and bait. It comes to shore in the millions every June.

Actually it was submitted at 10:25p.m. Alaska Standard Time on the 23rd of October... We here in Alaska get tired of being treated Special by the rest of the world. We are part of the states too...

11:05PM pacific time for me
Besides, I'm pretty sure Oct 18-24 is inclusive of both the 18th and the 24th.
so I guess..
Since it's inclusive, that means that it's still going on until 11:59:59 PM today. I'll check it tomorrow to see who won.

I just hope the judge sticks to the theme, I can't believe how many people think "Seascape" means "It can be a picture of anything as long as there's water in the frame!"
You 'hope'. Why? I'm sorry, Safari must be displaying this thread incorrectly, because I missed your creative contribution. I'm shooting a wedding tomorrow, makeup & hair start at nine, Apple Store doesn't open until ten. I'm going to try to make an appointment for Sunday and get a genius to straighten it out.
Some of us have chosen to fill the foreground of our images with rocks, some with sand, flowers, etc. Some chose to compliment a striking example of nature with another striking example of nature, but all the images are 'seascapes'. Why don't you just relax and let the judge decide the best pictures according to THEIR opinion. No need to leverage the results of the contest with your rigid understanding of a theme you didn't even bother to explore.

I've got plenty of pictures of stuff near the water, but I've got no seascapes, which is the theme, so obviously having no seascapes, I didn't have a valid contribution. I hope you're not really that dense.
Ok some elaboration then...
2 SLC Flyfishing : Framing of subject and reflection
3 PeteB Oil on Stormy Waters : Framing and great clouds
4 icanhasiphone? : Color and Composition
Other Faves were mickbab, LittleCanonKid, rouxeny, TheReef 's shots.
I guess because there were many awesome shots and I don't feel that i would do them justice with a critique. Don't feel that I am being lazy I would rather let your great pictures speak for themselves.

Thanks everyone... The shot was of the Cliffs of Moher in Galway, Ireland. I changed it to B&W in post because that shot was at 300mm on a cropped sensor and there was basically zero saturation through that much sea mist!
My personal favorites in this contest were icanhasiphone?, rouxeny, and SLC flyfishing. I'm humbled that my submission was picked over theirs and everyone else's. Good showing everyone!
I'll start up the next contest thread shortly...
