In Sand, we find our 'Rest'.
by WeJay

Comment:
I saw your request for a comment on Art's 10,000th comment thread. Here is my take. First, the post processing on the cross (B&W conversion, contrast) is nicely done. Two things hurt your score. First was the subject itself. The sand is not the main focus of the image no matter what your title implies. Plus, fun cheerful images score better than this type of image. Second, the background is extremely distracting. If you cropped out the top 1/2 to 2/3 of the image (giving it a landscape orientation instead of portrait), the size and placement of the cross makes for a stronger composition.

Not your classic bokeh picture but without it, your image would be without impact. 10

Decadent Safety
by halopes

Comment:
Back to comment and bump: Safety is a tough subject for a challenge and after a second look; I can appreciate your take on the subject. Hopefully, the DNMC Police don't hit you too hard, as the connection doesn't hit you over the head. I think the b&w conversion is very well done. Overall, the subject is not very exciting and will make it easy for the voters to vote 5 or lower and move on.
