great seascape. really beautiful. while i dont usually go for black and white landscapes and seascapes, i find so much to like in this photo. I feel the shoes was just put in there to meet the challenge though. This is more of the beautiful seascape than the shoe. And honestly, if i find myself lost in a view as lovely as this, I wouldn't feel lonely at all. The shoes actually show this. They are not lonely, they are in the mood for party. 6 would be fair.
Great shot, well done, lovely idea and title. Love the contrast in the pebbles. Would love this one without the shoes in the shot too. Love the clouds :) Ribbon.
Epic. Gorgeous everything. Not sure where to look first. The landscape is so overpowering, that the shoes are the least interesting part. The fact that they are not in a particularly interesting position doesn't help. In a landscape challenge, this would be an 8. Of course, I am always contrary to the trends and this will likely ribbon.
