Now I want to see the image cropped the other way - Don't cut off the sides of the ladies, just cut the ocean off and leave the three ladies and all the sand, no other people.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - I wish I could be as brave with color as you are.

Spectacular, as all your work is. What if you crop out that lighter area on the top left? I have a what-is-it brain, I can't identify it and it takes my attention away from the face. The hand of death (or maybe time?), drawing his mark on a little boy, lest we forget we are all mortal.

I love your whole dog series. Each is stunning. Truely, you are an artist. Ignore all the stupid comments.

Face? What face? I've got to recalibrate. Clearly your image suffered from poor-voter-monitor-calibration syndrome.

Whoa - here we have mt olympus and the giant gods leaning over the edge of the world to look down at Man standing alone, surveying the newly created world.

Ignoring the challange theme, how does this photo stand? Your lady in blue is so in-your-face that she must carry a message. This isn't just a "pretty picture", it's more of a journalistic entry so I'm looking for a moral. Are you suggesting that people are overweight? That Spandex is out and blue jean shorts are in? That the worl is a drab place and a burst of color is needed? If I look at the composition I find the bright blue butt in the rule-of-thirds sweet spot. Ok, rules are for amateurs, you could say. If I am an amateur viewer, my eye still goes to the woman's backside. Why do you want me to look there? I'm I supposed to be amused? Attracted? In the end, I'm left wondering "Why did you want me to look at this photo?" That doesn't make it a bad photo, it means that it failed to communicate anything to me, the average dull voter.

PS - I hate the border, I'm a member of the border police.
