It’s me (on the right) and my wife Irina.
I didn’t have any good ideas for this challenge till Sunday night. I took Irina to the beach, it was quite cold and water wasn’t very worm. I made her to take off her shoes and stand still for about 30 min. I was running back and forth taking shots at different angles.

Special thanks to Irina for being the inspiration and subject of my picture.
Also, thanks to ltsimring, who was walking by that evening, and took a picture of me working on that shot: ”Gotcha”

See? I told you!! Congratulations on having the clear-cut, standout winner!!! It was worth it, wasn't it ???? The cold goes away in a few minutes, but the glow of a blue ribbon lasts at least for the whole week it shines at all of us on the front page. . .and forever on your profile, right? :) Fantastic photo!
Valera,
do i have to say the words? :)
congrats on your first ribbon (and blue to boot)!! that was a lucky sunset at the La Jolla beach, wasn't it? two ribbons!

Beautiful shot...I really like the silhouetting (would actually prefer it to be completely silhouetted through a change in levels) and the framing of the sun. Nice positioning in the frame...very good.
My pick for the blue. This image has a lot going for it. The beautiful silloutte with a perfectly focused outline, the sun, while bright, is not over exposed (big kudos there!), the clouds and waves playing nice, a beautiful reflection with their feet interrupting the reflection just enough to make it real, composition feels "just right" to me. I'd give you a 10+ if I could. Good luck!
I was set back at first by the fact that is a "sunset shot", but on second inspection I liked it better; it is actually a nice sunset, carefully framed composition, and has two romantic looking people in it :)
Nice photo, nicely framed and a lovely sunset but I'd liked to have seen the footprints in the sand also. Almost looks like they are walking on water.

The composition is great! I love the reflection as well. I don't know if I would have liked to have seen the people facing away or not? I don't like the fact that the person on the left seems to be talking (open mouthed) but then I'm just being fussy! Overall I like it.
