i took this at the beach around sunset.... everyone had pretty much retired from the beach for the day and returned to their hotel rooms. i thought it looked cool with all of the chairs and towels and colorful umbrellas. probably wont do extremely well but i wanted to submit... its been a few weeks.

Love the composition and the lighting, however, for me, there is a bit too much sand showing in the foreground putting the image slightly out of balance.
Good photo, and interesting angle. Too many people shoot from eye level and little else. Good focus, depth of field and and color. To my eye the sky comes across a bit washed out, and almost completely burned out between the foreground and background umbrellas. It's really tough to hold it all together when shooting into the sun. Cloning the man, and possibly the gull, out of the background might have helped a bit. Overall I like the picture and composition. It fits the challenge well, and definetly communicates the point that all the people are missing. Good job!
I love the colors here and the feeling that it evokes. This is the best time to be at the beach. I think it is great that you chose a subject that most people would not, that of empty chairs.
the umbrella in the forefront is so dominant that I can't help but see it as the subject of this photograph. It's a beautiful photo with great colors and good composition, but I have to ring the DNMC bell on this one.
Where is everybody? ;^) This is a good take for the challenge. I think it's interesting how there is a color theme going on here also, and most likely quite unintentional. Too bad you couldn't shoo that seagull and person out of there. ;^) Overall, very nice. Good luck in the challenge.
an odd and creative take on this challenge without "human" subject, though tome literalists in this site will see the umbrellas as subjects
technically an excellent entry and pleasing to the eye and soul 9
