Hey Kel,

This is great, love the backlighting and the colours are fantastic, it does look very slightly overprocessed to me, but a very nice shot nonetheless. The texture in the sky and sea is great too.

ahh, this was by far the strongest of the photos with this title. I gave this a 7 during the challenge; seeing now how it ended, I should have voted it higher to balance the fuzzheads who gave you less than 5!

Kelllllyyyy. . . welcome back! I thought for SURE this one was going to be one of the top 3! It is definitely one of my favorites and is an absolute PERFECT picture for "Stare at the Sun"! Way to jump back in with a 6.47 bang :)

Nice image. The colors look a little washed out.

Awesome shot even though a little uncreative and an "easy way out" but I love that sky and think this is one of the strongest images in the challenge, gave it a 9.

Absolutely beautiful colors, and great use of the rule of thirds. It's so simple, yet so elegant, I love it.

Nicely composed, just maybe a little quicker shutter speed so that the area of the sun would not be so blown out.
