I still say you should work for Pentax. Dang, man. Or change your name to OptioMan and have the camera in the Altoids tin for the logo on your cape.

Beyond the Beach

Comment:
I dunno, I kinda find that big white scrape in the foreground a bit too dominant and distracting...maybe try cropping in a row? Absolutely brilliant shot though. I want to be there...atleast the way you captured it. One of those wonderful photos that you can almost feel and hear.

Like many of the submissions, although there were lots of repetative objects in the shot they seemed more incidental and didn't really seem to be the true subject of the shot nor really genuinely capture the theme. You probably wouldn't look at this photo and immediately say "repetition!" If anything the stronger repetition theme for me might come in thinking about the repetition of the woman and her day somehow.
However, this is SUCH a wonderful photo it probably would do extrememely well in lots of submission themes. Would make a beautiful print. Another fantastic shot for your terrific portfolio.

Three steps To Ribbon Heaven (try, try, try again, 247 submissions?)

A ONE and 15 total votes of 4 and below. Those voters should be ashamed of themselves. I mean come on! I invite the ONE and and 14 others 4 and below to defend themselves and explain why this photo is in their eyes below average and worthy in any way of the "BAD" end of the scale. Or did you think 1 was for 1st place?
Anyway, while you were a little bit robbed here Hugh, thank you for putting in such an obviously great effort once again that at least some of us can admire and learn from.

YAY! Now there's a ribbon! Hopefully you won't just get stuck with that white one. Sure got my vote! Perfect 10
