This may not quite be what was intended for the challenge, can't argue with facts, though. Our sun IS a star. Wonderful play of light on the crashing surf.

This captures a bunch of my favorite things to photography in one shot! Nice work. Crashing waves, sunset, rocky landscape...very good picture I think. :)

It's a very, very nice photo but to me, the large, centered rock formation detracts from the overall appeal to the photo: 7

Excellent!!

the explosion of the surf, the star effect on Sol - all great elements - i am just not sold on the choice of putting the large rock dead center - it seems to create a barrier to seeing the entire image at once

This is a great photo with excellent composition and exposure.

This rock has to be the most photographed beach in CA, especially at low tide.

A nice image but a bit of a strange choice given that we have just had the sunset / sunrise challenge.
