 The shore line at Miner's beach, with a storm passing over head. The lighting wasn't the best, but the rocks and driftwood along the beach really set the mood for me in meeting the challenge.

I might have liked a crop which was more in landscape format rather than nearly square. Here, I'm not quite sure which bits and pieces are our main subject. The rocks? The logs? The thing in the background? (If this were advanced, I would have cloned that out in a heartbeat). The divide between beach and water is also smack down the middle. The other crop may have allowed for one to dominate more than the other. Sharpness seems just a bit soft to my eye, but I get all fanatical about that, so just ignore me.

I quite liked this shot and gave it a 7 during the voting. There's a mood given here that really works. I'm surprised to see it score this low. While the focus could have been sharper, it is very nice.
