Beautiful light and shadow, lovely golden tones...the sky in the upper left corner is a bit distracting, maybe a different crop would have made a difference? I still like this very much though.

Hi Phillip, yes thats what i did. I took the sunset picture during a trip to Saipan and thought it really suited the challenge but as you know I could not submit an old picture nor could i simply shoot the whole pic again from my monitor or it would of broke the rules so i had to add something to this to make it original... enter the egyption pens.. Im happy with 16th place my highest to date Thank you everyone for nice comments.

Dude, check you out! Did I understand your description of this shot correctly - you put two pens in front of your computer monitor, which had this image on it? Nice trick, Marac. :-)

Very cool shot but too much noise/grain within the clouds and over the water

Very nicely done. This has a [Japanese version] 'The Ring' vibe to it - moody and haunting. Composition is too tight at the bottom though.

Nice photo! I really like the drama in the clouds. The Figures in the foreground a bit hard to see. Maybe a bit more light would have brought out some detail.
