this is super sharp...nice, but it lacks something...I think the comp is good and the colour and exposure are great...just lacks a wow factor for me...but that's just me...

Ahh the lovely BLUE water - the lovely BLUE sky - the lovely BLUE shirt - the lovely BLUE clouds - and a lovely RED umbrella...hmmmm...RED? Nah! - still thinking BLUE. Very nicely done...reminds me of a photo I chose as a favorite one time. :) Bumping to 9.

Brilliant Deja Vu. I wonder if this is how you had envisioned your original. The exageration of all the elements lend this perfectly to a fantasy type feel. The colors, the clouds, the NI rocks are all great. Beautiful shot. Now if this isn't Metatate then he will be very proud of the nod, but I am guessing it is. Bumping up 2.

This is the very best one with Steve brushes, if that is a brush effect in the sky. Either way, it's one of my favorites so far, and that's saying a lot since I have been voting the more natural pictures higher in this challenge. But this just draws me right in. The graduations in the sky and the small clouds are such a perfect backdrop for the figure with the umbrella. The road looks too smooth and painted for my taste, but otherwise, there's not a critical thing I can say. 9
