oh wow... this is done on BASIC? It's an extraordinary rendering... I'm not sure how well it addresses the challenge, but I use an "on/off" switch for meeting the challenge, and I'm letting this one in on the plus side: so good luck with it! And if you know my work, you know I'm a connoisseur of stark sunrise/sunset images like this :-)
Very neat. Normally, pics like this would come off flat due to the lack of any real depth. But the colors create the depth here. The horizon fading off into black gives wonderful depth. I love this. I've never seen colors create such a beautiful plane. 9
Gorgeous photo, but I have a hard time seeing how the perspective dramatically affects the image. Fortunatly I can't rate this lower than a 7 because I think it's just a beautiful shot. I'd like to see this again outside of this challenge with the black spots on the water cloned out =]
Nice, I really like the symmetry and the breaking up of that symmetry by having the buoys in the water. Still not going to give it higher than a 7 as having it in web size doesn´t really do it justice (doesn´t give off that "wow" factor) but I bet this would be breathtaking if you printed it out LARGE and put it up on a wall.
