Reflecting the Horizon

I really like your subject matter and think you captured it well. But, the image has a few issues. I don't think all the brown space at the bottom enhances the image. You could cut out the bottom third, leaving just a bit of the reflection and viewers would fill the rest in in their mind without having to see the blurry sand. Where the image is cropped on the right is awkward. Why there? If you cut so close on the right, your best bet is to also crop close on the left - you are missing balance here and it feels awkward. Anyway, an interesting subject for challenge with a slight tech issue. 7 - good luck in the challenge!

Wish the colors were a litle richer. Focus and POV very well done. Minor technicals - spots at bottom and line in back but those are barely noticible. Lighting well done in difficult situation. 6

Phosphorescence (with a twist)

Comment:
This image intrigued me. I realy like it. But (don't you hate that?) with a slight curves adjustment to really bring out the color and a slight sharpening to bring out the shapes and pop the color, this would be an "I Love it" shot. Very interesting as is but just a little flat. 7

My 10 in this challenge. I wanted to do something similar but ran out of time. Excellently captured. A great sense of time passing. Best in the challenge.

Against a Wall

I actually already voted on this - one of my few. I stopped voting out of sheer aggrevation. My interpretation is different from everyone else's, almost. I really love the tone and texture of this image. Its almost alive and three dimensional. I like oyur title and the framing works for me. But, for me, this is more desolate than desolation. Is there a difference? Well, yes - one is a noun and one is a verb. With it being a verb, its a feeling that can change. With it being a noun, its a state of being. So I have a hard time with people and animals having the state of being of desolation. Does that make sense? It is my own bias - maybe there are animals, people that could be desolation but I haven't found one yet. Make sense? At any rate I gave you a 7 - 3 for technicals and 4 for emotive quality.

If you think your score is low, it could be due to close minded people just like me. :) Bump to 8 due to voting on all images. Added one for challenge topic.
