Wow! This is something special for sure. A little bit more sky would have been better for me though. It feels a little bit cramped at the top. The snow/ice or whatever it is is truly spectacular.

Cool scene. To take this to a 10, I think I would have placed the straight ice line to one side instead of sort of down the center of the frame. Crop about 1/4 of the right side of the photo and you have the island at a rule of thirds spot and the line 1/3 of the way into the frame. Would be more dynamic and less just off-center. Love the colors and the wide-angle! Great shot.

I really did believe this would get a ribbon...you just missed out on that but that takes nothing away from a shot that had me stumped and believing it would def trump all others. Beautifull!!

This is a gorgeously minimalistic shot that captures and captivates our eyes. Congrats on the high placement. I absolutely love the silhouettes of those rocky mountains seen off in the distance where the sunset colors linger. The brooding sky and the ghostly bluish-white hues of the ocean just really makes the image pop. One of my two tens that I passed out during the challenge. The title made me think that this was Diablo beach in Uruguay - but it is far from it as you can get:-)
