Great out of the box. I really love seeing images that grab your attention or make you think. I like the approach you took by giving it the title 'Mountain View of Beach & Ocean' it brings an abstract approach to the contest. I think in an art class this image would have greatly impressed the teacher. The shadows across the image are also interesting, I don't think the shot would have worked as well with no shadows. I think I would have to agree with other in the sandals being my favorite part. I think the shoes express the title to the fullest extent. The only small thing I could see it the image seems little soft, maybe a tiny bit more focus. I would not sharpen the image. Its hard to tell if there is noise in the right hand side of the tile or if it is the tiles themselves. Good job.
Well, Anthony ... 219 out of 297. If it wasn't so sad it would be hilarious. But look on the bright side; the fact that this image was apparently beyond the intellectual reach of most voters here is actually something of a compliment.
Love this. The most intellectually and artistically adventurous image in the challenge. It's a terrific fusion of the abstract (mountain, beach and ocean) with the only too real-world & pedestrian (the feet). I applaud the choice of suitable footwear, and the alignment of the feet with the mountainsides. And to make it even more rewarding for the viewer, you've added the intrigue and interest of the shadow shapes. No option for me here; this is a 10!
Very unusual..definitely thinking "outside the box" with this one.
Works for me as an abstract. I like the way you have divided the image with colour, texture and light.
I like the abstract geometry here. Nice combination of textures made interesting by the viewpoint and the shadows. The feet add the human touch to the shot.
