This is a photo I took about 30 minutes before the submission deadline arrived. I took it at Ecola Beach with my friend Zoomdak, first competition, please be nice...

You bastards on the Oregon coast! "first competition, please be nice..." PHOOEY! If I had scenery year round like y'all do, I'd be doing much better! Grrr! 'Pierre Morte,' eh? How's about 'Perry Mort,' punk?
You really should have used a smaller aperture on this one.. the rock is sharp and nice but the horizon is all blurry. maybe you did that to preserve focus on your primary subject... but IMO, it might have worked better with a greater DOF.. 6.
Wow, very emotive image
I really like this one, everything looks perfect to me- no where to improve with this particular image in my oppinion with the available editing options
Pretty good. Nice execution, nice colors, but for me, it would be 100 times better without the mountain in the background, even at the expense of the cool cloud over it. 6
the sinple smoothness on the solitare rock makes it work in this challenge.
To make it a spectacular picture i would have liked to see a bit more DOF or a bit less so the mountains were in focus as well.
I think my favorite thing about this shot is the movement of the water....such a graceful texture. I think that perhaps the rock could stand out a bit more clearly. But a lovely shot nonetheless.
I like this image, however I wish you had take this shot more from the right and out towards the ocean to eliminate the mountain/hill on the righ hand side. Find it distracting and negatively impacting the result. Good Luck.
Bravo! Simple. Fading glory. Well worn timeless stone. I love the leading lines quietly found in the sand, inviting the eye to the last lights of this dying day. My only crit is catching this stone in silhouette causes the ocean worn texture and shape to be lost. Hope this scores well!
Great composition. I think using the hyperfocal to provide depth of field throughout the frame would've made this a little better though. As it is the horizon is just a little too blurry for me.
Awsome shot! To bad the sunset didn't get more colorful. But of course that would make your main subject stand out less, so I guess the way it is now is good =). I know you coudn't really change this either, but the mark to the right of the rock it a tad annoying. Great composition on this shot, with the rock in the lower left rule of third, the horizon in the center, and the land mass leading down into the rock. Overall: great job! Where did you get the title?
