 Ok, so I'm probably going to get hit by the "boring"/"cliche" comment a few times for this one, but I don't care. I really enjoy photographing the South African coastline. This was not shot with the challenge in mind, but I think it works though.

Ooops. .. sorry I thought you were Miles. This looks so much like his Oregon coast style -- but that is a huge compliment since I'm like queen of the MM767cap fan club :)

Congratulations on your most deserving ribbon with this fabulous shot!

Congrats on a magnificent shot and your new ribbon. All of the lines in this image as well as the darkness of the mountain in the background work to pull my attention right to the horizon and into the mountains. The rough rock foreground is beautiful as well. I like ocean coast scenes, and this is a fine one.

I love the angled structure of the rocks that accompany the leading (coast-)line. It makes it, together with the water, a very dynamic picture. Well seen!
