Sorry, but this feels rather like a snapshot to me. The roadside guardrail is a huge distraction and the saturation on the blue and/or cyan looks like it has been pushed up way too far, which tends to bring out sensor noise besides giving the ocean a "fake" look. The photo definitely meets the challenge, but it does nothing beyond that. A great photo should usually stand on its own.

Very moody and the duotone adds to this.

Very powerful image. Great DOF and "pose."

Nice photo, but it feels crowded on the left and right sides relative to the top and bottom. If you had the option of pulling out further I might have liked to see that, otherwise a more square crop by bringing the top and bottom closer may have worked equally well. I also think the bright purple inner border is a slight distraction.

I like the motion you've captured, and the double-rainbow, but I'm afraid the post-processing gives the children almost a CGI look. Still a good shot overall.

Very well done, good lighting. The hand is a touch soft but not unreasonably so.

Nicely done... the motion makes this unique and dynamic. Black and white was a good choice.
