A little contrived, but shows some thought was put into this. Not sure two soda bottles in a natural setting makes a lot of sense to me... Rocks might have been a better choice. The ocean scene is outstanding...but the bottles remind me more of the way folks trash nature than of love. Two champagne glasses might have worked a little better...or two pair of shoes (making you think the people were off wading). Hard to decide how to score this one...a great shot in so many aspects, but...
Without the bottles, this is a peachy picture. I'm not sure whether the bottles catch my eye enough. Maybe I would have had them filling more of the shot? Sweet, though.
This is a nice idea but I think if you had of shot the bottle much closer it would have been much more effective. You are trying to get us to look at the nice yellow cloud and also the bottles in bottom corner. When 2 subjects are that far apart it looses a viewers interest too quickly. Good overall shot though
This scene is very "exposure sensitive" but you got it just fine.
Probably perfect consithering the conditions. And the idea is simple, yet strong.
One of my favourites. Great job.
Sunsets and water do well on DPC. I think you got the idea of the challenge topic. Composed very well. Bottles lit very well. Colors good - not outstanding but good. 8 - good luck in the challenge!
Some may argue that those bottles are too human looking, but I love the pic and I could have guessed the beginning of the title by just looking at the pic, so great job on this difficult and controversial challenge. Awesome picture too.
This I like. The bottles are looking almost perfect. The things that should be dark are and the colour of the sky is just beautiful, not to mention the horizon.
