Lazy Sunday Afternoon II

This is better composed than your winning shot. The light and colors are in general better, but the use of the pink filter is a bit too obvious here as it covers part of the sand. Still, I like this one better. It would be interesting to see if it would have won though given the more obvious use of the filter and the placement issue.

Didn't get a chance to comment on this during the challenge, but I really like it. Nice use of motion blur, great colors. It was one of my 9's. Regards--Neil

Very pretty Laurie. Well composed and the glow adds a nice painterly/moody feel.

Seems like we need an impressionism challenge where blur is in. Nice shot overall, great effect and contributions of color.

Argh. I kept scrolling down the results to find this near the top, and I was stunned to see where you ended up. Still that's to be expected in this voting crowd. I think this is a great shot, as I already said! Wonderful.

Great catch of a decisive moment. Seems like a dangerous beach if they keep coming in that low. Bumping up.

I just love this. I hope the "shouldn't be blurry crowd" doesn't penalize you (been there). I had given it an 8 on my first pass, but I'm bumping it all the way up. Super job!!!!!!!
