SCREAM

Back to comment: I love the concept but the lighting need to be more dramatic. As is, the B&W conversion doesn't have enough contrast. You might want to check out the tutorial in the Learn drop down menu. Still worth a 7 for the great use of motion to convey sound.

In Sand, we find our 'Rest'.

I saw your request for a comment on Art's 10,000th comment thread. Here is my take. First, the post processing on the cross (B&W conversion, contrast) is nicely done. Two things hurt your score. First was the subject itself. The sand is not the main focus of the image no matter what your title implies. Plus, fun cheerful images score better than this type of image. Second, the background is extremely distracting. If you cropped out the top 1/2 to 2/3 of the image (giving it a landscape orientation instead of portrait), the size and placement of the cross makes for a stronger composition.
