A beautiful scene. The blue tones give your picture an added sense of serenity. The glare in the water towards the foreground is slightly distracting but otherwise a near perfect picture. Great job.

There is an unquenchable thirst by many people to embrace blue monochromatic images. This capture will satisfy the urge in many and in myself. The touches of dusk orange, being the opposite color of blue enhance the welding of the horizon.

Bumping up.

Great scene. Not sure about how blue this is, but, you probably captured this exactly as it appeared.

Wonderful, Wonderful shot. If anything I would like the rock a little more into the picture and a little lower. It looks like the sun is high in the sky, but yet the horizon shows the color of either a sunset or sunrise, seems odd to me. Or is that the moon up there? 9

This is just beautiful, one of my favourites this challenge. The central horizon works well here. The rocks are what makes this shot work so well. The textures in the sand are breathtaking. I love the reflection of the moon in the water, but the moon itself doesn't quite work for me. Gorgeous colours. 10

The color and the use of negative space and great.

The texture contrast between shy and shore is great. The rock adds interest. I think the picture might become even more interesting if it were cropped just above the moon to give the interesting bottom half a larger area.

Part of me thinks the horizon should be moved up or down, and the other part of me says the symmetry makes this great the way it is :-) Visual tension is good, though. Great shot.

I'm a sucker for these type of shots. The blue hue works well here, and I love the texture of the sand. The hints of mist around the rocks really catch my eye.. but there's something very subtle missing. I can't really put my finger on it though.

When working with water reflections, I tend to brighten up the reflection a bit.. perhaps that's what I'm looking for here? Sorry. Wish I could give a more concrete suggestion. Still, this is a solid 9.
