Very nicely done! I took some shots there a couple summers ago, and I know how hard it is to get colors just the way you want 'em in there. I think you brought them out beautifully.

Hihihihihihi ... i fell in love with this shot. So smart. So Hush Puppies look. The tone, the composition, and the details are superb for such not-an-easy-one theme. Congrats, comrade!!!

Wow, love the range of warm tones of reds, golds, and oranges the pop off the shadow blacks in this photo. The sculpted sand cave walls undulate like that of ocean waves. Movement and color beautifully captured in nature.

Hi from the Critique Club, Ja-9,

I love the colours and the perspective here. The yellow/orange plays nicely off the blue. In addition, the border you created on the top and bottom is very good.

I can't help but wonder if your image was perceived by the voters as unsharp or lacking detail. It's tough to get much depth of field when you're shooting so close, and it looks like you were already using a fairly slow shutter speed. Looking through your portfolio, you obviously have a grasp on macro photography, so I don't need to go into detail there.
