VERY cool shot - almost seems surreal; hard to believe anything like that actually exists! Perfect timing with the birds and lovely processing.

Heh, heh... I don't think you regret entering this one, Rina. It's really stunning. The rock looks like a huge piece of silver (to me ;-) Love the birds and the splash. Great work.

Rina, do you still think you should have entered the bird? :) I still think this is awesome and am glad it scored so well

I loved this. It was almost like seeing an iceberg rise from the water and go into the sky. The processing is beautiful! Congrats on a great finish in the FS!

I really love the colors. I honestly think that you over sharpened the photo to the point of making it look flat, not to mention the jagged edges of the rock becoming pixelated. However, I do think it will score in the top.
Even though it sounds like I am being harsh, I really do like the photo.

7 - I like the artistic nature to this image. The image lacks the detail I want to see, only because of the size restrictions, I'm guessing they're there at a larger size. Also wonder about a little more off the left for added compositional strength/drama.

Beautiful! Good timing with sky, time of day and lighting. You also managed to get a particularly nice color on the ocean.

The two seaguls are a nice touch & so is the splash. The sky is definetly not washed out but to be honest, I'm not a real fan of the post processing on this one. It just doesn't look real to me. Sorry.

I don't know if I like the colors here, but overall I like the feel. I would probably cut off most of the right and a bit of the left. I like the splash and the birds
