A photo that represents what one sees in their dreams? I had a little trouble thinking of a good idea. I went to the beach with my freind and he ran out to sea into the sunset and left a nice set of footprints in the glistening sand, I decided it was somewhat a dreamy idea...

This is an excellent idea. All it lacks is good solid focus and clarity. Composition is good.

This image is interesting, but I think that it would have been a bit better if the footprints made their way onto both sides of the frame. This would have been much stronger if, in addition to the footprints, you showed the feet actually walking on the water. Since seeing sand squishing up around the edges of the feet would spoil the effect, having the person suspend themselves from a nearby pier or something would allow you to have their feet in contact with nothing but the water.

A bit blown out at the top, but a pretty image,

I find this a really relaxing image to look at. I love the way that the colour goes from blue to red.

Very strange color in this image, wonder what this is floating on the water...

I like the colors and wave action in this, however it is fairly soft focus wise. Sharper focus would have made this appeal more to me.

This is my second go-around =) - Very nice colors! And great idea for the challenge. I only wish the picture was slightly sharper... but that's not a big deal, still great!

Lovely colour and composition. Only a lack of sharpness distracts from an otherwise excellent submission. 8
