Spots on the Sand

the drop-shadow frame elevates this from odd photo to abstract canvas.

Looks like a swim team. People in motion leads me to think that you didn't use multiple exposures for HDR. Image seems to have a yellow hue/cast. Tighter crop removing some of the foreground would be better.

I like this picture but I fin the drop shadow border is distracting (I keep looking at the border rather than whats inside of it). If you do opt for a border in the future I would suggest keeping it really simple and plain.

In terms of the picture itself I like how you used the corner post to tie the image together visually. The fence draws your eye into the picture creating a nice feeling of depth.

There is some interesting elements in the picture without it being too busy. (the fence, the tree/post, the pair of trees in the background; the nicely contrasted clouds in the sky).

Interesting shot, but the harsh yellow color cast and shadowed boarder really take away from the photo itself.

I like the composition, but the border doesn't justify it. Without the frame the impact would have come over more.

Very striking photo. I like the footprints, even though they might be thought undesirable.

This is neat in an abstract way. The footprints add authenticity to the photo. Not sure what the "spots" are, but it's fun to try and figure out. :D I've seen this drop-shadow framing in a couple of challenges now. It's unusual enough that you're going to start giving yourself away, that is, if I'm correct in assuming it's the same person doing it. :P Good luck in the challenge.
