Shot in Cozumel at the hotel Fiesta Americana Dive Resort. They had some abstract columns when viewing the ocean so I tried a number of different shots.
Editing:
- Had to do a bit of spot healing to clean up sensor problems (humidity when moving from your hotel room to the outside is killer!).
- Adjusted levels
- Sharpening
- resize
- save for web

Undoubtedly voted low for too much red, but this is an awesome composition. I very much like it - this is the type of thing I love to shoot myself. I wouldn't change a thing about the composition - the only nit I have is the color of the sky seems just a tad purplish to me. Very nice shot!
the greenery in the upper right is distracting, i think a slightly different perspective (to align the pillars better) and a different crop would help this shot.
The picture is great with the red pillars popping out at you, but I don't really feel it fits the challenge perfectly. I get what you mean about the blue ocean on the blue sky, but they're both in the background. All in all, this is a nice pic if only for those red pillars.
You got the poles vertical! That's better than I would have done! I like this, the vertical vs the horizontal works very well. Sky looks a bit unnatural though, especially the clowds look very purple-ish. Only thing I don't like.
Ok I'm lowballing this and here is why. Blue on Blue is what you present as your theme. Yet the dominant subject in the photo are the large red bars. Add to this the white railing or knee wall and the brown bit of concrete showing and this is about as far removed from color on color as could be.
Compositionally, this was a nice idea. As this is advanced editing, I think you could have taken this and played with the colors to get everything up as shades of blue to better meet the challenge. Also would have been good to clone out that piece of hair or whatever is in the top right corner.
