Inverting this image really transform it from a nice picture to art. It doesnt' fully meet the challenge in my opinion (or at least my expectations) but using my scoring formula I'm glad to give this a 9. Well done!

O.M.G. This is my pick for the blue. Awesome choice to turn it upside down (which I figured out as I contorted trying to figure out what it was). Brilliant. I love the rippled texture of the "sky", and how it just "hovers" over the rest of the scene. Well done!

Very nice. Out of the box thinking and perspective on this one.

Excessive dynamic range in this scene makes it a difficult choice for a minimal editing challenge. I love the luminance and reflection on the wet sand. The ocean seems distant and begs for more detail from the surf and people. The sky has great elements of interest. The hills on the right are mostly lost to the shadows.
