This is one of my favs in this challenge. So well composed. I love the way you splashed a bit of sand on the bottle to make it look like it's been sitting there for a while. The net adds very nice touch to the whole image as it frames the bottle. My only suggesions would be to rotate the star tiny bit to make it less obvious that it was arranged, and make the border thinner (it should not compete with the fishnet lines). Otherwise beautiful photo.

This is great, I like the way you captured this in the net, with the shells and sand as if it was pulled in from the sea, very good shot I like it

sting would be proud. One comment- try to avoid making a picture that they would sell at TJ maxx or Marshall's to old women for their bathrooms. In othere words, tighten it up and lose the corny hotel art starfish!

Excellent composition and great ideea. I like the net and the warm tones do just fine but their elegance is a wee bit on the dull side. Maybe you should have had a spot of colour somewhere. But I still like it enough as to give it a 10

Great picture! I love the composition. The lighting is very good, too. And it´s well focussed. One of the best of this week in my opinion... 10

I think this would have been better without the starfish, its just another thing that takes the eye away from the main subject.

My favorite so far. The colours are so very warm and real. I wish I was sitting next to them and finding the message (is it for me)?

Good feeling shot. I like this very much. I would of only like the bottle flipped the other way. Still you did a good good job here. Colors/light!!

nice shot, I wouldn't though include the starfish because it kinda takes away the attention from the bottle...but that is just my opinion..... good job though! 7

nicely composed, well balanced, good clarity and color
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/12/2003 10:33:34 AM
Very clear and sharp. Good idea using the net in the background half buried in sand, it gives it that old piratey feeling to it. The cork looks too new and doesn't give me the feel that the bottle has been floating around for a long time. I would have aged it or battered it around a bit (9)
