Congrats on your top ten finish!
Out of the "message in a bottle" entries...this stood out by such a large margin in my mind.
Excellent interpretation. Your image is wonderful. Focus, perspective, exposure...all combine for a well deserved top ten finish.
Again congrats....I'm sure more top ten finishes and ribbons lie in the future for you!!!!
Regards,
Randy.

Just love this picture. The angle, (guess someone got wet getting this shot :-) . Alos you can't get a better background for a picture than an ocean. Great job, nice focus on the bottle and the paper inside.

Good point of view, but the reflections hide the actual message.

Nice shot. Like the perspective. The sun spots on the bottle detract from the overall image for me. Maybe taking the shot later in the day or at sunset would have added to the appeal of this shot.

Good shot. Maybe a little less bottle and more sand and water?

I really like this. The ocean in the background sets a really tropical-like mood :)

very original take on the subject and i think well visualised and taken its a 9 Could have been a 10 with more depth of field and total sharpness throughout.

nice shot. I would have chosen a different angle and taken away the seaweed, it distracts from the subject. imho
