I like the line of surf leading my eye into the pic. However, the colours seem quite drab for a beach scene.

Not a holy place for me atleast.

I get the idea here, and I'm all for thinking outside the box, but...

I feel like this challenge called for a certain reverence, which this photo does not give to the topic.

Technically it is a really nice shot, but it relies on the title to be linked to the challenge... photos that speak for themselves are always stronger than those that rely on the title.

Only in SoCal! Intersting comp that need a bit more contrast either through shapening or a levels adjustment...

Is this a contest to find the most original way of writing a title to make an otherwise irrelevant picture seem to have something to do with the description of a challenge?

Is that Palos Verdes in the background? If so, her neck is covering my old house :-) I lived there in the early 60's, attended Soth High School... I like this shot, though it's iffy on the topic...

Image doesn't appear to be quite in focus, also looks a bit dull and grey.

Great shot - dodgy challenge subject connection! Worthy of a decent score though.
