There was a lady sitting on a bench watching the sunset. I didn't know her and she just accidentally made it into my shot.

Well I blew this entry. I tried a few different variations of this shot and uploaded them to see how they would look on different monitors. The problem was, I didn't intend to leave this particular shot in submit mode. I got distracted and forgot about it. I'll have to post the correct one after voting is over.

WTH? I got a validation request for this? OooooKaaay then.
Here is the shot that should have been entered:

A bit over the top, but striking. I prefer the subtler sky in your alternate version, but I like the sea in the version you submitted -- not so much the blue color, but the whitecaps really pop. The "lady" in the photo is too small to see at this size. I wonder if a closer crop would have helped emphasize her without losing the interesting details of the environment?
it's a lovely shot Josh, but I think you went a bit overboard with the colors :). Would love to see a more human version... Strong finish though, with 2 faves - cannot complain about that!
