Charmayne, this is breathtaking! I didn't get to finish voting on this challenge so I missed this one, but I would have given it a 10 (don't you hate hearing stuff like that after a challenge when the 10 could have helped so much. . .darn). But really: in a challenge like this with so many stunning works of art, this one had an impressively strong finish!!!!

Exceptional work!!!

Great job! I liked this photo, you did a good job of creating the feeling of moisture all around - the sky looks like it's about to rain, or just finished raining. The color of the ocean shows some storminess. The foreground seems as though it had remants of a storm surge, or remants of a stormy sea crashing onto it. I'm giving you a 6 for meeting the challenge and technical merit.

the relative calmness of the foreground compared with the apparent storm raging in the background make this an interesting shot.

The colors are brightened but still very natural looking. Looks like a storm is coming.

The rock in the foreground and the green sea vegetation exposed by the tide gives this image a texture missing from many of the other seascapes. Hope to see this one on the front page.

Nice use of foreground, shame the weather hasn't given you some low angled sunshine.
