CRITIQUE CLUB!

This is an excellent photo and perfect for the challenge. The subject is great, focus is sharp, and the framing is very appealing. I enjoy how the subject fills the frame.

I have only two comments. One, the photo is overexposed a bit. The glare on the straps is distracting, and you lose a lot of detail in the sand. Granted, on a beach in the middle of the summer sun there's not a whole lot of control you've got. The other comment is the color saturation. While I know the challenge was "Blue," it seems like maybe you bumped up the blues in this photo a bit too much? It's soooo vibrant that it almost looks faked.

Overall, an excellent entry. I truly enjoyed this image.

I like this quite a bit. However I don't think you needed to saturate the blue as much as you did. It is clean and simple and the straight overhead angle works very well with this shot.

*grrr* I envy you for the warm weather ;-) It's a very nice photo. I like the contrast of the colours and the texture of the sand. I seems a bit overexpsured because in the lower left corner the sand is very bright.

This is definitely different, I must say. Very clear and bright and sharp focus. What BLUE flip flops. Doesn't seem like Christmas though. I'll take mine, thank you. Good photo. Not a "wow" but a good solid technically right one. PTL 7

Can't see what it has to do with Christmas (except for the hot weather bit) but it's a great shot!

This is wonderful! An excellent choice of blue. You'll do well, I'm sure.

Definately blue. Focus and lighting are great. Really meets the challenge. 8 tomlw

i like the color but maybe another angle showing more of the beach or even some of the water might make this photo look better.

Good composition, blues are great.

This is a very eye catching shot. I loved it as I skimmed the thumbnails also. Nice shot....stunning! It would make a good travel poster. Bravo!!!! Justine.

I like the contrasts here... the shoes could have been a little clearer, look slightly blurry, and the sand looks burnt out in a few places. Nice idea though... and very striking blue! Lucky you... much warmer then where I am <GRIN>. Good luck!

Very emotive. Interesting use and great idea. Shoes seem blurry, maybe illusion but still a great shot and a great idea.

I like how bright the blue is in this one. Normally I wouldn't but in this shot it works well. Nice picture.

not sure how the title fits... but great use of contrasting colors...
