You bastards on the Oregon coast! "first competition, please be nice..." PHOOEY! If I had scenery year round like y'all do, I'd be doing much better! Grrr! 'Pierre Morte,' eh? How's about 'Perry Mort,' punk?

Edited to add "Phooey"

That rock looks awfully alone. Would have liked a touch more light on it, but a really strong composition.

Wow..this is a nice shot. I love the water and the sky..it was a neat idea for the objective. Very nice shot! The lighting is great!

You really should have used a smaller aperture on this one.. the rock is sharp and nice but the horizon is all blurry. maybe you did that to preserve focus on your primary subject... but IMO, it might have worked better with a greater DOF.. 6.

Wow, very emotive image
I really like this one, everything looks perfect to me- no where to improve with this particular image in my oppinion with the available editing options

This image is very pleasing to me. I like the colors, and the clouds. 8

This picture is pretty, but it is hard to make out the minimal object..a little dark.

great use of space

Pretty good. Nice execution, nice colors, but for me, it would be 100 times better without the mountain in the background, even at the expense of the cool cloud over it. 6

I like the silhouette of the rock (I assume it is a rock). The sky and sunset colors also add to the photo. 7

the sinple smoothness on the solitare rock makes it work in this challenge.
To make it a spectacular picture i would have liked to see a bit more DOF or a bit less so the mountains were in focus as well.

I think my favorite thing about this shot is the movement of the water....such a graceful texture. I think that perhaps the rock could stand out a bit more clearly. But a lovely shot nonetheless.

very nice mood feel to this image 7

Nice capture. A different angle may have helped make the object smaller.

I like this image, however I wish you had take this shot more from the right and out towards the ocean to eliminate the mountain/hill on the righ hand side. Find it distracting and negatively impacting the result. Good Luck.

Bravo! Simple. Fading glory. Well worn timeless stone. I love the leading lines quietly found in the sand, inviting the eye to the last lights of this dying day. My only crit is catching this stone in silhouette causes the ocean worn texture and shape to be lost. Hope this scores well!

Neat landscape shot. The rock in the foreground really strengthens the composition for me and the colors are very nice.

Very nice. I wish you could spot edit this one. Bring out more of the colors

Pretty image, i think you made it fit the challenge well

Maybe some fill flash would've given some small detail in the rock?

Looks like a place i like to call Indian Beach (and close to my heart!)

9 both because it meets the challenge and it's a dang good shot!!

Great composition. I think using the hyperfocal to provide depth of field throughout the frame would've made this a little better though. As it is the horizon is just a little too blurry for me.

very nice...the main drawback for me is the point/hill in right background
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Awsome shot! To bad the sunset didn't get more colorful. But of course that would make your main subject stand out less, so I guess the way it is now is good =). I know you coudn't really change this either, but the mark to the right of the rock it a tad annoying. Great composition on this shot, with the rock in the lower left rule of third, the horizon in the center, and the land mass leading down into the rock. Overall: great job! Where did you get the title?
