Hi Phillip, yes thats what i did. I took the sunset picture during a trip to Saipan and thought it really suited the challenge but as you know I could not submit an old picture nor could i simply shoot the whole pic again from my monitor or it would of broke the rules so i had to add something to this to make it original... enter the egyption pens.. Im happy with 16th place my highest to date Thank you everyone for nice comments.

Dude, check you out! Did I understand your description of this shot correctly - you put two pens in front of your computer monitor, which had this image on it? Nice trick, Marac. :-)

Very cool shot but too much noise/grain within the clouds and over the water

Nice photo! I really like the drama in the clouds. The Figures in the foreground a bit hard to see. Maybe a bit more light would have brought out some detail.

To me, this photo would have been better minus the images, they seem unclear and I cannot connect them to the picture nor theme. The Light and Clouds are outstanding.

Dramatic!! Border is too complicated for my taste. colours are vobrant, but the lack of detail in the dark clouds a little distracting. And it looks as thought there is a "grain" in the image that won't serve you well (maybe consider using a different resizing program?) Nice image though.

great scene. picture looks either over compressed or cropped too tightly. pixels look a little large.

I would have liked to have seen the bottom of the statues included in the frame, just for the sake of the composition
