The image seems a bit dirty -- perhaps from compression? Or was it taken through glass?

The first dab

Comment:
I see too much white space, the image seems a bit off-balance. The idea is good, but I would have liked to see something different.

I've been giving low scores to plant pictures -- but oh, how i love ferns. You've captured it just right. The lighting and framing is there -- the fern is almost in motion as it unfurls to the space to the right.

The subject and its color are great, but the lack of focus is greatly annoying.

The colors are great. So intense -- great image. The starkness of the white on the blood-orange sky. Wonderful. I wonder how you go the sky so orange and the lights so bright?

I think the title is the best part. Nice contrast ratio.

Nice framing and great lines. I love the texture of the sand as well.

Daybreak

I'm always frustrated by the large number of cliche pictures -- where people all seem to have the same idea. I guess it's not the fault of the photographer, how would they know what others are going to do? It's a very attractive image, nicely framed and the colors are right.

My problem is more that there are a ton of other sea/beach/sun pictures in this contest. For me, it doesn't speak very loudly about the topic.

I swear this is an identical chess set to another image I just voted on -- hrm. In fact, this looks like the same move and lighting, just a different angle.
