Thank you all very much for your comments. I thought this would make it in top 20, but I am happy with 22nd place. I am quite new at posting (this being only my second challenge) and I can see that my borders are lowering my score. I entered a decent shot in the Diagonal challenge as well, and I already got comments on my borders being too large.
The thing is i like my borders, I feel they help concentrating over the picture itself, they bring the viewer closer. thats how i like it and i am not gonna change it just to get extra points here. If u like my pics, but hate the borders, well then, I will live with that, and, at the end of the challenge I will pretend I have a bit of a higher score.
Thanks again for the comments. And, Kelly, I would be happy to send you a large version of this shot, so u can print it and put it on your wall. Thanks again!
This photo is fabulous. IMO, should have been in the top 10. Beautiful perspective, amazing color and contrast. I would love to have this on my bedroom wall. It's one of my favorites on the site. It's dramatic and relaxing at the same time. LOVE IT! (I gave it a 9)
Not only is there too much border, but I think the white in the border makes the whites in the picture look dirty, more of an off-white. Because of that, there's less contrast between the foreground white and the brown of the cliffs on the right and the hazy blue of the sea on the left. I like the picture, I just wish it were crisper.
