Rough drafts of what I'm thinking for #96. This would be my first hat in the ring per se so I'm open to any critique including they totally suck, go home kid. :ear

#1

#2

#3

I think #1 is my favorite but it needs something. Maybe more contrast or less noise in the clouds?
Thanks for looking.

    I like #1 best here too. Probably would benefit from bringing up the blacks a little. But, I wish I had this shot without the car, or with less of the car. I think it takes up too much of the frame here.

    I like #3 the best. I agree that #1 would probably be a little better without the car just because the scenery is amazing. However, the uniqueness to the feet print it the sand is a great spin on this challenge.

    I agree, #3. It's really easy in this challenge for things to turn into "just another road shot."
    The goal of my photography is is the effective, original communication of a feeling expressing truth, beauty, or love.

    I like #2, although I'd like to see the horizon moved up by cropping some clouds.

    I like #2 also.
    which ever one you go with be sure you check the rules to see what it says about frames. I am not sure what the latest rule is, but in the past they have not been allowed for the most part.

    I quite like #3 with #2 being close behind. I'm pretty sure that frames of this nature are against the rules... so you'll want to remove that or you risk DQ.

    Definitely check the frames. Aside from that, great shots! I like the processing. For me, #3 is different from other entries and I like that. I also really like #2.
