Judge 1:There is so much potential in this shot, but the little things will get you, and sometimes those things are unav oidable. I would have changed angles on this shot, or perhaps removed the bottom palm frond and let more of the yellow show. Creativity is the high point, because not many people would have thought to take it. Good eye! Judge 2:The contrasts (both color and light) and framing of the surfboard and surfer make this a strong composition. Tricky light conditions on the beach were exposed well. I would like to see more creativity in getting rid of the stairs. Perhaps some foliage could could have been cloned in to hide the most obvious portion. It leaves me wondering whether I am to be curious about what is atop the stairs, or desirous of sitting on the beach. Judge 3:Cool attempt at composition, dude. I like the way the leaning trees frame the image and the shadows soften the foreground, but the surf board is blocked by the tree, surfer is too small, dead trees are ugly, and stairway is distracting.
