Cool tilt, adds a sense of motion to the shot. Nice sky.
Hate these type of borders - sorry.

Hoppin good time at the Beach

Nice colors -- Like the umbrella. Shallow DOF has completey obscurred the sand. Would be better with the sand detail more visable in a sand challenge.

Nice capture of the curves of the waves and of the figures. Not sure the foreground blur or high noise add to the photo's impact.

The Gold Calls To Us

Hmmm. Overall I like it. I wonder what it would look like with no medallian and the shell having the focus point. Three subjects in a scene may be one too many (four if you count the sand).

Playing with Sand

Nice composition. The grain/noise/texture really adds to the grit of the sand. Hand looks a little odd with the black finger tips.

Life in Sand

Bold composition. Colors palette of green/brown/black clash and distract a bit. Focus seems a bit soft on the sand.

Nice curved lines, leading the eye around the photo. Slight tilt to the horizon. Hard to tell for sure but the DOF seems not to have infinity in focus.

Nice composition. Perhpas a tad over-processed.

Can we find a deal here?

Wow tough finish. I did not vote but would have placed it higher. I thought all the car door parts framed the shot nicely and added to allure. You can't please everyone, it seems.

Take solace from the high number of 7, 8, 9, and 10's. When you score low with that many high scores, it usually means a good photo that connected with a lot of voters but also missed with a bunch as well.

Spiderman didn't mind the hat and tinsel, but he drew the line at the discoball

Congats on getting the Yospiff award. Loved the disco ball!

The shoehorn graphic represents his signature wacky humor in using shoehorns in his submissions. It is not any statement that your photo was a shoehorn, but rather a compliment on your humerous take on the challenge.
