that's definitely abandoned.
it's a bit dark in the upper left corner, but i doubt it would give any drastic change to the image if it had been fully lit.
i quite like this image for the challenge, i hope to see it do well

I'm glad for your high score on this image, Wendy. I know how much it means to you, and I hope you get to make many more with this kind of light.

When i have tricky horizon like that I sometimes rotate it back and forth a settle on the most pleasing composition to the eye, even if the real horizon is then off.

Wendy never picked this as yours thought it was Johanna, nice one. Looked like fun.

I really like the way the light works here. The designs in the sand create interest, but the lighter color is really what sets a positive tone. The water seems dark and the sky darker still, but we see a lighted foreground and a playful designer in a white dress. It conjures thoughts of hope in the face of adversity. Great capture!

I just love this one but find myself wishing the distant horizon was straight so I could focus on the lovely foreground and that delightful girl. I can feel the waves lapping her bare feet. Great colors and light. 9
eta: Ouch - you are so right. The horizon is straight. I had to stand up and look down on the image to see the trees and the real horizon. Sorry.
