Re shoot of an earlier starfish photo. Wanted to improve on it by 1) using a more natural starfish instead of the one dyed red 2) have 'clean' sand 3) remove dark vignetted corners that were in the original shot from last year. Also wanted to shoot an image for the 'harse environment' by showing a starfish out of its natural environment exposed to the wind and sun.

it doesn't look so harsh there, infact I would love to be sitting there on the beach, but I'm sure that the star fish doesn't
I like the comp and light
John White, this your shot? Looks identical to your username entry and frankly it really detracts from the viewing experience of this photo, if it is indeed yours at least you could have put a little bit of a twist to it or something, like taking it at night or in the opposite direction of this beach or from a lower vantage point. Sorry but EXACT repetition doesn´t sit well with me.
Still a nice shot so I didn´t vote it down too much I hope :)
i like this shot a lot , very rlaxing actually. i can see ho wit could be a harsh environment , nevertheless, most people go to place like this for vacations accordingly i think it's a DNMC BUT again i like the composition, colors, focus... 6
Honestly, the photo looks like a snapshot and not harsh to me. It looks like a nice deserted beach where I'd like to be - the water looks very nice. It's a nice photo but did you use any expert editing? I don't think so, maybe I'm wrong. I rarely vote in challenges I've entered and I'm not breaking the rule for this challenge. If I were voting I'd start your photo out at a 4 because imho, it's not harsh. But, I'd bump it up to a 6 just because it's a nice photo.
