Out, out darn spot! ...gotta get my camera cleaned.
Taken saturday morning when I was out looking to surf...snapped this pic not expecting to put it in the challenge...but ive no other so we'll see how it does.
Taken in RAW... bumped exposure, shadows, contrast, used curves and cropped slightly.

I've been scoring "odd number" shots low because most of them are total bores -- if a shot wouldn't be taken outside of this competition, why take it at all? A photo that is technically great still deserves a low score if it's another darn picture of a die. But your "odd number" shot is very, very good. Definitely one of my favorite photos so far.
Is that... Morro Bay? It is, huh? We go there every summer. We love the stacks. :) (well-composed, well-exposed, good focus, bummer about the little speck in the sky on the right. 7.)
The clarity and focus is great on this. I gave it a 4 though because it lacks the attention drawing mechanism. It's not eye catching, the whole scene blends into each other too much. There should be more contrasting colours so it outlines the scene a bit better.
