They look more like tomatoes to me than apples! Very nicely done photo.

I saw your shot "pre-edit" and this does make all the difference in the world. It's quite beautiful, nice job.

Hello there.

Another photo that will be difficult to critique.
Trust me, it isn’t easy with so many good shot’s in this challenge.
And there's not much more to add to the comments you allready recieved.
From the comments I filtered a few, one say’s there is too much rock, the other say’s he likes the rocks.
I myself think they give more perspective so I say I like the rocks.

I think you had to score a bit higher with this photo, but the competition was really tough this time (I know, I entered) so be happy with your photo and the place it ended. It shows you have an eye for good compositions.

If you ask me, why it scored lower then some others, I can only say this.
It’s really a photo that would go into a travel guide, but it doesn’t show anything really exiting. Its rocks and water. And I think that would be the reason why it didn’t score better.

I say it again, I think this is a good picture, there is nothing that you must improve (well maybe the sky a bit) but the subject is just not as exiting as some other photo’s in this challenge.

I took the liberty to visit your profile and found another photo that I really liked, I gave a comment on that too.

Keep up the good work.

Grrrrtttzzzz

If you crop this a little bit ighter, just to get rid of the boat at the bottom right frame and the boats on top, you will have a killer photo... Like it very much!

Gives me a feeling of calmness. Certainly a worthwhile place to visit.

Pleasant scene although weather has made this quite flat. Looks like some shad/hilite filter has left some haloing and colour mismatch from top to bottom. Also appears to be some obvious cloning on the top right.

Happy 8 to you! First one I've handed out...This is a fairly typical type of travel photo shot, but this is what the challenge is all about!

I see a little bit of mist in the background and I really wish there was more in the foreground (not so much that you can't see the island, of course)...

Perhaps a narrower vertical crop, as well.

Overall, pretty good!
