I am not sure how you received so many 1's. This is very creative and definetly has red in it (Meets challenge). I really like the motion you show and the crispness of the background. Likely the low votes were due to either desaturation (which I liked on this entry) or the blur (which may have been interpreted falsely as out of focus).

I am not sure about your placement of the umbrella dead center. This may have worked a little better if it were shot from the same location and you and the umbrella were off center and slightly smaller in the image.

How long did it take to grow the facial hair? We havent seen you in a while, maybe you have been hiding so you can work on this new skill??

Nice lighting and composition - I like the crossed leg and your placement in the photo and how the door looks warped due to the wide angle shot

This is such a wonderful and creative image - Excellent job. I was overwhelmed by the number of votes (voted on about 40%) and never got around to seeing this one. A 9 or 10 in my book!

Clearly a stand out image. I saw Blue on this the moment the image came up. The processing, lighting, positioning, and perspective were just about perfect.

I still can't get over how 9 people saw to vote below a 4!

Fantastic! The line of the beach is amazing, the contrast in the sky is stunning, and the feeling that I get is so calming. I can just hear the gentle lap of water.

Very cool! Love the rings - but there appears to be something wrong with the reflection - can't quite figure it out... ;-)
