Great shot - the only thing I could suggest to improve it would be to have removed the green object in front of the dock (if possible). It's a bit distracting from what I think otherwise is a perfect shot with a great subject, background and colors. Good job!

This is a lovely scene, and the picture's quite nice, though the low light definitely shows in the blurring of the diver. There is a jaggy look about the hills that may be compression artifact, but the colors are gorgeous.

I really like the illusion of the curve and the natural lighting enhances it a ot too. Great job

What gorgeous colors. It is a big stretch to fit it into the challenge for me though. The green object in the water is distracting. It catches my eye and keeps bringing it back to it.

I'll give it to you...a little stretch on the category IMO...but I'm not too old to remember holding on to those last days before school and going to the beach, etc. to get ready. Now, onto the shot....GREAT shot. The lighting is perfect for the mood that your trying to convey. ( Sun going down I'm assuming is symbolic of the summer going away and school starting ) The composition is there too. Very good shot.

To me this really doesn't fit the challenge, but it's still a nice pic. I like the movement of the one diving off the dock... good composition as well.

I like the quality of the lighting, but wish it was at a different time of day so it lit the face. Or maybe this was intentional?

Mostly a good shot, I find the 'whitish base' a little distracting. would like to see it without it. just a thought
