This is astoundingly bizarre (and hard as it may be to believe I mean that in a good way :P). Looks almost like a composite shot - as if some photoshop guru has come along and merged one of yurasocolov's abstracts (//www.dpchallenge.com/portfolio.php?USER_ID=27293&collection_id=4655) with a dpc-standard-waterdrop image. The end result is (almost surprisingly) pretty DAMN cool.

Great job Robert, good to see your tremendous contribution to this site being rewarded in the score department - just a shame you had to pick such a hotly contested challenge to turn out a 6.7.

I do like the tonal range here, but composition seems a little haphazard - the frame is a little busy - still it's a shame it got disqualified, sorry to hear about that.

Definately one of my favourites in this challenge. The post processing was worth the effort.

Excellent stuff.

Wow, you've really nailed surrealism in the traditional sense. Not necessarily my favourite image here, but you could almost throw this in one of the painting style PS filters and pass this off as a Dali.

Great job.

My first thought on seeing this - 'I wish I'd thought of that,' this shot has scalvert written all over it - and in the likely even that you are not, in fact, said individual, just take that as a huge compliment to the creativity you've exhibited here.

This is highly professional, definately worthy of an advertising campaign.

A powerful concept, stunningly executed. Rarely does an image separate itself from the other entries as clearly as this one.

What is this - the fifth ribbon for this beach ? That's gotta be a record for a single location :). I've gotta say, this is up there with some of zoomdak's best shots of this beach, which is certainly an achievement considering you havent had half the practise he has :P.

Congrats!

I really like this image, the punchiness of the cliffs is great against that sky and the clouds. A little confused by the black line going across in front of the land, you could perhaps clone both that and the black spot out. Do that and this is certainly a wall-hanger.
