DRAMATIC !
the wonderful sunlight and shadows playing with the gigantic formation with the storm in the background

WOW !

I visited the grand canyon over 20 yrs ago with a film camera, at noon, got some fairly bad shots, I want to go back and reshoot

Letting Go

Comment:
this is magical !
nice processing

wish her expression was more in line with the mood of the overall scene, seems she was called by someone helping on the shot and she got distracted

revised my vote to 9 from 8

Sunset at Cannon Beach
by franktheyank

Comment:
I tend to associate sunset/sunrise, clouds sky with color images, but this one has a strong composition, really like the bright sphere of the sun close to the horizon , the detail on the reflections and on the waves, fading into the distance

Still... I wonder how it will look in color ;)

"Softly the evening came with the sunset" H W Longfellow

Comment:
Wonderful use of the golden light on the dog and man , love the subtle colors the waves on the water

there is a wee bit of a halo around the mans head, from - I guess - some shadow recovery or a bit of dodging
