The Lighthouse on the beach

The composition of this image leaves a tad to be desired, and I fear that the sun flares will have a negative impact on your score.

I do hope you will not think of me as unduly harsh, but rather as one who is trying to help you avoid some of the common pratfalls associated with photography. You might consider investing in a polarizer filter, and read some of the materials dealing with the Rule of thirds and "Leading Lines"

Good luck to you in the challenge.

Good idea and well executed. THe lighting and background are quite effective in drawing your attention to the subject matter. My only quibble with this image is that the reflection at the bottom portion of the image is a bit of a distraction.

Very nice image... very clear, great DOF and Bokeh. This one should do well in the challenge. Good luck.

Nice image but the "Abstract" aspect is, at least from my perspective, not at the forefront, and this may cost you on your overall score.

I have re-visited this image on three occasions thus far, and this is my first voting pass. I truly love what you did here. The colours, textures and geometric lines all combine to form a truly artistic image.

I love this image and at first passing I am giving it a 7. I do hope for your sake that the voters will remember that the Challenge called for an Abstract... because, so far it would seem that a lot of photographers haven't.

Best of luck to you.

I absolutely loved this image and, contrary to what some other have stated, thought it fit the challenge topic perfectly. This is indeed a truly awesome perspective, be it from what the pilots see, or what we as an audience are fortunate enough to witness.

I gave this a 9 and stand by my decision. You sir...were robbed.

This is indeed a stunning image, but without the title I would be hard pressed to find the relation to the number 10. Good luck to you in the challenge.

I truly love this image, but find the lighting rather harsh and fear your score may suffer for it.

Having had the pleasure of browsing through your awe inspiring portfolio, I had a sneaking suspicion that this gem was yet another of your superb creations.

Congrats on yet another well deserved ribbon.
