Pretty scenic. Like the inclusion of the people. The bottom 1/4 could be cropped out with no loss to image - it doesn't add and removing it would pull the horizon lower and add significance to the people. Toning/colors excellent. 8 - good luck in the challenge!

Nice idea, colorful. Looks like a real beach - good shot either way. Nice combinations of natural and man-made. Man figure would probably be better out of the shadow, but that's a nit. Love it, and hope that it does well.

I like the shallow depth of field, but would prefer it to be more natural with a gradual transition from the plane of sharpness to the out of focus elements. Otherwise a very nice image.

I love it! The coloring is great (though I wish the light on the floral aspects was a smidge brighter), great composition, nice concept. I think the umbrella is a bit too busy and it seems to be competing too much with the busy-ness of the mustard blossoms. I really like how you've made your little model stand out so well from the background with the very crisp focus. How did you manage that while having a uniform soft focus everywhere else? I do wish there was a bit of fill light on the girl's face, but that's not a huge deal. 7

This is great, but I think that she should have been a bigger part of the image. Perhaps cut in portrait?
