Great job! This is a gorgeous shot. The colors are out of this world, as is the setting. The sky is gorgeous, with just a hint of over-processing in the lower right and left portion of the clouds. The reflection off the water is gorgeous too, as is the movement in the water itself. Nice silhouttes.
However, a water shot, or even a shoreline shot, does not always mean 'beach' in my opinion. And meeting the challenge, to me, is the first and most important thing, if that isn't done, then anything else is unimportant. Doesn't mean it's not a beautiful and creative shot, because in this case, it absolutely is! I do love it! I went back and forth on how to score your pic, but I do vote low for those that I don't think meet the challenge, so to be consistant, I am voting this lower than I want for the reasons stated above. Although I did mark it as a favorite, sorry, I couldn't vote that way. |
