My entry was taken at the beautiful Windansea beach in La Jolla, where this gazebo has been perched for God knows how long, open to all winds...

But actually, I took this shot first

but then decided that a lighted human figure inside would add interest. So on the following night (the last one before rollover) I came back with my wife. Unfortunately, the moon was too high, and there were no clouds, so the sky was not as interesting. Thus, it was a tossup - sky vs. human figure. I asked tanguera for advice, and she gave me an additional push towards the human figure :).

Not surprising for a dance instructor ... ;-)

However, I agree -- the clouds are nice, but the Moon is too bright and detracts from your "painted" subject.

Is that the moon? Looks more like a biblical bright star. The rest of the outtake sky is great but I prefer your entry because of the human figure.

I do like your entry, but I do love the night sky in your outtake!

You're right, it does feel biblical. I should have brought a mother with a baby there :)

He he! Formidable shot. I scored very high the entry but this would have been 10. Biblical star beats any sunset!

to me, yes I would have gone with the human figure too though I see star popped and that gives extra boost but not sure how to read that as painting with light :(

This was my entry


and this was another one but I really didn't get that feeling because of the face expression and the road was all messy because of snow storm.

You chose wisely, I think.

I'd really need the face to be in focus to vote it higher than your entry.

Well done.

Lev, I would have voted them both the same.
