Well done!

I like the rise and fall of the sand, an echo of the time-smoothed waves beyond.

Congrats Ben! This is fantastic stuff...but not quite blurry enough.

Nice shot Ben. You have captured a special facial expression here. The composition is really nice and you are forced to look straight at her eyes. The DOF is very narrow though and I would have preferred it a bit deeper - her nose and chin are soft and looks a little out of place against the textured and aged skin on the cheeks. Not sure what happened between the right (as wee look at it) eye and the hair / ear - there is a very abrupt change from in focus to OOF.
Overall a nice shot and I hope you do well.

You were wrong, sir. THIRD place, not fourth :-)

Outstanding work, as always.
