This is one of my many resolutions as well but instead of just preventing myself from doing something (which is relatively easy), I will also make an effort to do something I didn't last year..

To organise my photos better

Very busy shot, clearly gets the message across of being unorganized. I'd toy around with the white balance on your camera or at least try to correct the color cast in Photoshop.

Interesting. I didn't care much for the vignette. The photo looks soft. Maybe that was your goal, but I'd like to have seen the outline of the egg in a little sharper focus.

Awesome juxtaposition. I have a feeling the "night" portion of the photo was enhanced by a faster shutter and therefore darker since metering was on the sunset in the mirror?

Congrats, Kali. I'm surprised I didn't see this image sooner. Great composition and excellent shot. Sorry to hear it was DQ'd :(

Thanks Laurie, I was long overdue! :D

It also helped that I posted something other than a flag which voters were pretty tired of, myself included.

Thank you all for your votes and the great comments. I'm puzzled how anyone could miss the wind in my photo? As for lack of a focal point, I really wanted to draw attention to the mist rather than the wave itself so I posted a shot with a really wild spray. I had many other pics with beautiful waves but the focus would be more on the water than the element of wind.

All I was hoping for was a top 10 finish. Looks like Santa left me a yellow ribbon for the holidays!

Beautiful capture! Looks like a great place to go diving. I could see myself laying there for hours, tanning to a crisp.

Crop is a bit tight. Seems like the spool is your focal point but I'd think you'd at least want the entire crank in the frame. The background and harsh shadow cast upon it does nothing for this photo.

A bit abstract and hard to decipher. Unfortunately, I don't think this shot will score very high....... I still can't figure out what it is.
