love this one--it feels so empty. It tells a wonderful story!

Rich - nice simple composition. The sky is very cool with the streams of light. I just wonder about the processing - it seems tonemapped as there are some significant halos around the grass umbrella.

The halo is dissaponting otherwise it would have been a shot with a lot of potential. The crop also I feel could have been explored further. I would have liked more of the dramatic sky that you captured. 6

Norbert sighed. He must have fallen asleep, but now here he was, foot stuck in a huge hole on this god forsaken beach, and everyone had gone home. Now what? He watched as the sun dipped below the horizon, as darkness fell, hoping that someone would return to look for him. Hoping that he wouldn't have to stand here all night.

Norbert sighed, and the winded whipped around his hair and a little dog came along and...

Norbert hated life.

A bit over-processed for me - I found the haloing around the shelter very distracting. I think I would also prefer less foreground, or something to add some interest there.

I like the idea for this a lot, but I feel that this final product falls a little flat. The hut looks a bit like it's glowing, and I think that a stronger shadow beneath it might add a bit of depth to the overall photo. Good composition, though.

There seems to be a glow around the "umbrella" which I find distracting. Nice minimalistic image though.

Too much HDR, a softer look wouldve worked well with this

The beach looks great and the textures from the umbrella are good too. However I think the processing needs just a little work, the halo'ing from the hdr is quite prominent. Try reducing the strength slider and increasing the the light smoothing (assuming photomatix)

Good, fun composition... but it seems a bit flat to me... I need the water or something to make this image 'sing'. (not voting yet)
