I think this is very arty and nice, Penny. I like the simplicity of the composition and the depth of field that emphasizes the textures of the sand. I would have scored it higher than I did your entry.

Nice outtakes but I like this best. paulsteven may have something about the footprints. Comp and tones are really nice as are the tiny figures that give the image scale. Lovely.

Love the patterns, tones, light. Not sure about the crop. Normally I like or at least don't mind borders but I'm thinking this might have been more effective without. 9

After much deliberation, this comes out as my only 10 - so many excellent images at the top in this challenge :) I love the simplicity of the design and the tremendous impact of this image.

So simple but the rich tones and dramatic lines of the gate and shadows are very appealing. One of my favorites. 9

Silent Soliloquy

I just love this one but find myself wishing the distant horizon was straight so I could focus on the lovely foreground and that delightful girl. I can feel the waves lapping her bare feet. Great colors and light. 9
eta: Ouch - you are so right. The horizon is straight. I had to stand up and look down on the image to see the trees and the real horizon. Sorry.

Watching

Nice blur. Is that a sock or a cast? I like the lines of the composition a lot - railing, chair back and then the chair arm and reclining figure coming across at an opposite angle.

Cool. I especially like the fit with the graffiti message and the light to shadow.

Wonder whether those numbers are meaningful to someone - like "2" goes to the bedroom :) Nice textures, lines and shapes.
