I just think this photo is just wonderful. Its just a strange way nature has and you just captured it at the right moment. Congratulations on the 4 place but to me you would have gotten 1 place. Great job.

hey Mark: this is an amazing shot. The clouds appear to reflect on the sand. What a good time for a shot. Congratulations on your 4th placing.

Do you see those clouds make that type of formation very often??? That is a cool shot. Do you know the people in the shot???

This is a great shot - congratulations on your timing. I hope it wins. Nice eye for composition.

This is really a great idea, but I wish maybe there'd been a way to get the shot without the people and buildings in it

Excellent seeing! You found a great scene and captured it well! The wide angle lens really held the Dof from close-in to infinity.

That really fits the challenge. Bizarre? For sure. Excellent picutre, it's almost like the wave/foam (or is that snow?) on the beach is reflected from the clouds. Well done, high marks on this one.

 11/08/2004 01:23:21 PM
The similarity of the sky and ground is strange. At first glance the foam appears to be snow.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/07/2004 08:22:45 PM
This is a great idea. It's amazing how much the clouds and sea look symmetrical, well done for spotting it! Great clarity and wonderful colours.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/07/2004 11:45:15 AM
Wow! Brillinant!...unfortunately i belive a lot of voters will not look at this long enough to notice how the sky and the water are almost identical in shape. BRILLIANT!---10---

This is an excellent shot. Great job seeing this symmetry. That's not Brighton beach is it?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the mirroring of the clouds with the sea foam. Colors to saturated for my taste. I might have cropped the far-right person out, also.

Good seeing.

Great eye

Beautiful capture... good DOF...

what a photo? just excellent
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/04/2004 02:36:00 PM
What a great opportunity. IMO, the people take away from the photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/04/2004 11:10:40 AM
This is very bizarre, the way the clouds seem to follow the foam... giving it a 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Love the symmetry of the sky & sea, or ice?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/03/2004 05:47:37 PM
great image -- love the colors .... although you can't do advanced editing in these challenges, i'd recommend cloning out the two people in the image if it can't be recreated. also for an interesting technique, see if you can put a few footprints in the sand....
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/03/2004 02:30:32 PM
Wow!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/03/2004 02:09:41 PM
Very creative! Needs a tighter crop though, to get rid of the people and those buildings.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/03/2004 01:23:31 PM
Very powerful shot. My favorite in this challenge. 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/03/2004 11:53:26 AM
What a great first photo to vote on. Like two hands facing each other the clouds and foam seem to stretch out towards the pair of walkers and about to grasp the buildings. I give you a nine with 10 potential. Thanks.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/03/2004 11:49:59 AM
wow...a very nice shot. the pure white foam coming over the dark rocks really catches the eye.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/03/2004 09:58:52 AM
Excellent idea. I don't know if I would have seen that walking by. I'm curious, did you know what you were going to do ahead of time? Or did it just jump out at you? Good shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/03/2004 07:18:32 AM
Great. although I think the 2 people take away from this photo. 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/03/2004 06:02:55 AM
great photo, what a great coincidence, 9
