I was completely swamped during the voting for this challenge, and didn't have time to make a single comment. In fact, I'm letting my membership lapse for now, as I don't have the time to contribute to the site the way I should.

With that said, I like this photo a lot. The movement through the scene is really gripping, and the colors are great. It woulda been neat to get this a bit earlier (or later?) in the day, to get the sun just a bit lower.

Wow, this is just stunning! I love it! Looks like someplace in Europe, but I don't know. This is one of my favorite images from this challenge.

Nice shot, nice colors. I was just looking all over, You got some nice colors in the ocean. Some simple contrast, not alot would have boosted this area and also made your shadows behind your rocks a bit dark. Thats just thoughts.

Nice, I have never been there but are these the fabled white cliffs of Dover that I have heard so much about? Anyway, wherever this is, this photo definately does the place justice and makes me wanna go there. Good enough for an 8 from me.

Really nice shot! It lacks sharpness but makes up for it in being such an appealing shot :) Maybe a slight contrast boost to really bring out the great colours would make it even better?

The shadow of the big rock gives something special to that picture, I like it.

Good composition. Could you have bumped the stas up a little to bring out the colors more? If the colors were more vibrant this image would really pop. Might have tried adding some gradient to the sky to tone down the bright upper left corner. Still a nice shot.

amazing! please IM me to let me know where that is. I see a little bit of over processing on the left side. That spire seems to glow. but It is a beautiful pic.

The Wow Factor is definitely present in this one!!! Congratulations on a breathtaking photo! The only thing that could ever improve this one is maybe the time of day it was taken. A beautiful sunrise or sunset may have minimized the shadows. . .but it is still spectacular!

The focus seems a little soft to me. Or maybe it is the level of detail packed in to this small space makes it seem a little noisy. I'm not sure. I love the photo. I would love to see a huge printout of this one.
