I would love to have seen more of the church as a whole so that it and the trees are silhouetted against that sky. Otherwise a lovely feel to the shot.

I thing a tighter crop using the rule of thirds would benefit this shot. Otherwise a nice shot. I like the blue tones to the shot.

All the greys are too similar. A bit more contrast and variation of greys would have looked better, ie the sand a lot whiter, the ocean darker and the sky a combination of both. I like the selective desat.

Would like to see this without the OTT post processing.

I like it too. I think a different crop would have been better. Maybe a longer crop. I would also get rid of the pelican in the background because it ruins the shot for me. The photo is very clear but possibly a little bright.

WOW Judi, are you on a roll or what!! Thought this was yours, had the trademark pose. I'm going to have to visit soon and hope that some of your photographic genius rubs off one me. ;)

Beautiful shot. Love how the background sort of flows into out-of-focus.

Say Hellooooo to Mr Goede

Hmmmm. Interesting portrait. I dont think it quite fits the challenge but good photo all the same. I see you've used a lense that distorts the portrait. This is interesting in a good and unconventional way. Looks like someone on the other side of the door looking through the peephole. I guess that I was hoping to see something that is markedly disassociated from the rest of the picture. The subject takes up about 80% of the frame not leaving much room for isolating it from the rest of the scene. Thats why I feel it doesn't really meet the challenge for me.
