| i like this very much and wish that you could have shot this without any of the people on the left of the horizon or the lifeguard house at the right behind the net. Dang old no spot editing rules. |

| WOW! Very interesting shot! Not a lot of interesting ones in this batch, and this one stands out... very well done! This image would be absolutely killer if the dark spot in the sand could be cloned out, but that's not possible under these editing rules ;) I'm going to give this one a high rating, and I predict at least a top-10 finish, congrats. |

| nice lines - would be a good stock piece for an advertising campaign (lots of good room for text). |

nice use of thirds. i could imagine it on a poster...
like many of the photos submitted for this challenge, it gives a sense of loneliness, but in a nice way.
simple yet effective. well done |

| Clean and simple. Technically good, ok composition. I think that a bright (fluor/neon) colored ball in the foreground would give that extra touch to make it perfect. |

| I like the way you used the thirds theroy. This certainly makes you feel something is missing (the players). |

I think there is too much sand. So I think this would have been stronger if the sand/water horizon line was centered. And maybe if the had walked a couple feet and removed the lifeguard station out of the way.
Anyway, this is my favorite so far (I've gone through about 50 really boring entries so far. And this is my first score above a 6). 7. |

OK. Read everything before reacting.
1) The border is way too heavy for this image. I really don't think you need one.
2) I would like a "tiny" bit more space between the net and the edge on the right,
3) More detail in the sand would help immensely.
4) Try the same scene with better lighting.
Having said all that - it is a SUPERB composition - just the perfect amount of blue sky, black sea and golden sand. The net is positioned in a very intriguing spot. Great use of the negative space. The slim Jim presentation is absolutely right on.
I guess what I'm saying is that this is a GREAT submission, one of my favorites, but I want to reach out and shake you for not taking it the rest of the way!

| I like the clean simplicity of the beach scene; the small, cropped image without a strong center of interest lowered my scoring some. |

| I would have liked to see a bit more detail in the sand. I think you could have under-exposed a bit to get that. |

| Really interesting photo. It's too bad the life saver thingy is in behind the screen. The image seems slightly pixelated (may have happened when you resampled). However, it's a very good idea. Love the colours. - 9 |

| Beautiful shot! Wherever this beach is, the town should use this picture in their brochure. Great job! |

| This is very impressive! Pity you didn't use more of the available file size, you could have much more detail and sharpness with 150k |

| Stark + simple = beautiful. You can still say something even without a ball included. Lots of dust specks that, interestingly enough, enhanced the photograph by adding more texture lol. |
