 When I left the house, I had this exact photo in mind. I had previously shot for Cityscape and had moved on. It was toward the end of the day, sun low in the sky. I doubt it will score well but not for not meeting the challenge.

Well I really liked this, it’s one of my 8’s.... I like the red left in, it made me think this was an alien monster, or perhaps a long lost sea creature walking around eating beach bums.. had to come back and find it, couldn’t believe it was so far off the front page! I award it win many Katie Kudos!!!!!!

Ps what the heck is it anyway?????

Neatly surreal. An abstract "It Came from Beneath the Sea". Normally don't like partial desat at all. But there's a clearly discernable esthetic reason for it here.

Nice image but I think it would have been really nice without the red.
