This is beautiful. Very much reminds me of some parts of my beloved Everglades. :)

Love the minimalist approach here with just a "little bit" of bird to add interest(if we can call it that), playing up instead the contrast of natural textures and colour between rocks, sea and sky. True piece of art!

I love the surreal blue water with the infinitely realistic green pasture! This is one hell of a shot.

Absolutely perfect; the wave texture, the orange strip; I can smell the tide, feel the salt in my nose; the birds, this is special.

Originally posted by BrennanOB: ok such a blatant shot at the brown deserves punishment. 10. other than the fact that it has nothing to do with the challenge it really is a nice shot, very moody.

I love this comment. Gave you a 10 to punish you for going for the brown, fantastic! It does show how obtruse your concept is.

Personally I would have scored this very low - most likely a one - even after reading the title its a big stretch for this challenge...

I believe the technical challenge in getting a great (literal) self portrait exceeds the technical challenge in making this image, so no bonus point there from me.
