I like it. Good, vertical composition, lighting and great sky.

Great sky and background, nice dreamy flow trough the scene.
When if scroll it up and down to see if it needs the blue sky I come to the conclusion that it does. For me it seems to work like a bit of counterbalance to the sea.

Very interesting minimalist feel... it would be nice to see the light not quite be so harsh.

A very nice mood setter with great visual expanse. Bumping up.

strong compositional elements - soft distance makes this one a standout -- one of my favorites this challenge

bitchin' ... I bet i'm the only one that thought it was bitchin!!! .... but seriously the fade-away thing here and highlights are great -- I almost wish there was a better username for this - like "heavensbeach" - the only thing preventing 10 here is a less than fortunate crop and a desire for a little more -- well where's GOD's face??? -sorry, i had a long day at work - beautiful -- 8

What a lovely shot. The sillhouettes and the gradation in the sky along with the afternoon or moning light really make this shot.

Beautiful. If I am not mistaken, this looks like a BradP image. If I did mistook you for BradP, please consider this as a compliment. This is a beautiful image and the use of ROTs is on the mark. One of my top picks due to it's starck simplicity and beauty. 10

Gorgeous image!

Looks like Lochness in the ocean there..LOL. Not sure I find this tranquil, but I like the large span of the sky, and I always did like water shots!

those clouds are so magical looking. Before i scrolled down to fill my screen with this hsot i just had the clouds on and that alone would have been stunning aswell

This is lovely...very well-composed with good exposure and color. I think the surf is a tiny bit more rough than I would choose for "tranquil" but I'm sure others find the sound of the waves very calming. I think you will place well with this image. :)

Nice shot... looks peaceful. I like the gradient on the sky.

Only thing I ould change -- I would clone out the little black line in the middle of the sky. It's distracting and IMHO very unnecessary.

Great picture... only suggestion would be to clone out the surfer though so that the main focal point is on the guy walking.

Beautiful and captures the name perfectly. I wonder what curve adjustment would do - hmmm might make it too dark. Just thinking out loud. Nice! 8
