Hi Paul - recognised this in thumbnail from the edit as much as the content. Is that the Voigtlander lens? Strong composition and concept . I personally feel there's just a little bit too much pale fill in the shadows, I'd have liked to see a little more depth of colour there, like the deeper green fill you used in the recent Night Guest photo. One of my top scores in this contest.

A swell idea, very well taken. I can imagine how difficult it must have been to decide which side is up:)

Very artistic and symbolic.

Somber and unusual, the image raises questions without answers. Seems like something we would find published on 1X, which often favors unique artistic concepts.

Nicely put together- there is a beauty in shapes that occur in nature and don't, and in the real human nature of female form-and when put in a position and posture of pre-birth, one cannot help but look back towards the question "what is the soul"- or ahead to the realization that truth, beauty- represent soul.

Originally posted by P-A-U-L: What?! You have moved to Northern Ireland - not only that but to the very lovely Antrim Coast. I am sure you have already been to Bushmills. Oh you are spoilt for photo locations in that neck of the woods. I am curious why you have moved to Northern Ireland. I am from Northern Ireland myself but Somerset has adopted me:)

New job!

Originally posted by riot: Excellent tones, well composed and nice details - your choice of shutter speed was perfect to capture the crashing waves with just enough detail while conveying movement, too. My only complaint is that there appear to be some odd vertical marks in the sky above the rocks on the top left, possibly from dodging and burning, as weell as some visible clone marks in that area of the clouds in the top left, perhaps from cloning out sensor dust? There's a faintly visible repeated pattern that was presumably not added intentionally. Overall one of my highest scores in this challenge.

Perfect eye. I have so much sensor dust at the moment - recent entries have needed over 200 repair points! Picking up my sensor cleaning kit today.
