This rock has to be the most photographed beach in CA, especially at low tide.

Rosette Nebula, a giant stellar nursery

Nice rosette.. good thing you had advanced editing in your favor. Looks like you used a modded DSLR as well.

I predict this won't vote very well, folks here don't appreciate astrophotos unless there is some element of the ground/Earth in the shot... except maybe an exceptional wide angle shot of Orion or something.

If I had a choice for this contest, I would have done a 50mm shot of Orion with Barnard's loop in it.

Descent from the Cross
by De Sousa

Congratulations on the win. My only 2 critiques of the photo are:
- the virgin Mary's blue shawl looks like a cape for the red cross guy, since his jumpsuit is the same shade of blue.. I didn't even see her at first, she was so well camouflaged.
- The beam of light on the floor directly underneath Jesus is distracting. At first I thought it was a painted line on the floor, but closer examination reveals it's the backlight. I would recommend dodging/burning to hide it.

This looks like a nice recreation of a classic painting.

Here's to... Good food. Good friends. Good fun.

Awkward perspective with the wine glass and the background in combination-- it looks like you're holding up the wine glass.. which gives this too much of a posed feel for my taste. If you had left this on the table and incorporated the family OOF in the background, that would make this the best of the submissions.

Don't like the motion blur, and red is not the dominant element in the photo.

Wow, like right out of one of those motivational posters or something. Well done. I could never do a shot like this, not without a lot of trouble (no place to shoot sunsets and I don't know any dancers that could do that). Voted this one as my only 10 in this challenge. Lemme guess, this is your daughter (which would narrow down my guesses, since there are only a handful here who use their daughters as models regularly)
