These Moments Are Fleeting

A gorgeous shot overall, I love it. When I went to do my second look through I couldn't help but to wonder about the colored version. I'll bet you were torn between the two, maybe not. I couldn't say the other would of been better, not having seen the other, and because I like this one so much. Great job.

very dreamy, elegant, balanced, and overall healthy colors. If there was one thing to critique, it would only be lacking interesting subject matter. And that is mild, because it has grace to fill in the vacancy. I just wonder if like a swing in the tree, or maybe a child in the bottom left blowing bubbles or jumping rope wouldn't give it a bigger story. I scored high, I enjoy it very much.

a took a real double take at this shot. Its is brilliantly composed ie. the balance is beautiful, the photo embraces curiosity, and allows the viewer to kind of fill in blanks, very thought provoking is what really got my attention, for that I scored very high 9, I hope you do well.

I really thought this earned a higher rank, It was very different than any of the other shots, and it stood out for me. Not a bad showing, but I can't believe it didn't get in the top 10.

Way to get outside the box, and submit a shot that is not only different but very intriguing, and satisfying to the eye. I applaud your creativity, and alone I would give this a 4 for creativity, however it also has great colors, beautiful consistency, and meets the challenge strait forward. All that said, congratulations, you have earned my first, and only for the moment 10. GL, I can't find critique worth mentioning.
Alright, I just finished voting, and this was my only 10, I'm not a great predictor of winners, but I just wanted to say how much I really liked this shot.

One bright white and red surfboard away from having a potentially winning shot. I still like it a lot, it will just be really hard to stand it among the finalist...who knows though. gL.

I know this must have water in it, but its hard to see. What a great all around shot though, I would hang this on my wall in heartbeat, I absolutely love it. Its just very hard to vote it in the highest rankings because of the demand for a water shot, and in short it just really doesn't bring that water out, and make it stand on its own.

you hit my weak spot, great capture. I thought originally that a landscape should win this challenge. I doubt this one will win, just because of the underexposure and a few minor imperfections, but it got a very high vote from me. thank you for sharing.

This shot could of challenged the best shots in the challenge with a few minor adjustments. The sky could of been more interesting, and the water up front could of used a higher aperture causing a crisp clean look. All in all, you could probably still use some simple techniques in photoshop to enhance this a little. That said, I still think you met the challenge head on, and got a great shot, so I ranked it pretty high. It would just be really hard to stand this beside the best shots in the challenge.
