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!!!!!!!

This is just a great use of a super wide angle lens. I hope I can do as well with my new 10-22mm lens. So far, I haven't! Good luck in the challenge--this is one of my top pics.

Very good composition and great detail and color contrasts, even with somewhat understated colors, it's fantastic. Good luck.

This is fantastic as an abstract. A bit hard to look at closely because my eyes go batty, but it's just a wonderful catch. One small thing: it seems like it could use a bit of controlled sharpening. In my top 10 of picks for this challenge. Good luck.

I think this is a great shot. However, for whatever reason, circumstance or perhaps lack of sufficent postprocessing, the lighting here isn't as magical as the scene. It seems to lack diversity--it's generally bright and sterile. I personally think that can be dealt with in the postprocessing, unless you are totally satisfied with it as is. Even still, it's in my top 20 picks of this challenge
