An intriguing photo, the contrast between the black sand and the overexposed mountains create a mind blowing image. The dried foliage in the foreground attracts a lot of attention, almost looking like flames. The division in three layers, the fore ground, mid ground and back ground add a lot of depth. I think you did quite some editing but the result is magic.

Colors and shapes make the image, well done. It looks easy but it is not, you chose the point of view and the composition very carefully and created a strong and pleasing image that is somewhat hypnotizing. The whites of the waves make a wonderful fine division line between the sky and the beach, giving the image a more energetic feeling, beautiful.

This photo looks like a surrealistic painting, the colors and structures are amazing. The mountains in the background look sharper and even more detailed than the foreground and they pull you into the image, seeing this landscape makes me want to go there. The layers in this photo are beautiful, you used the colors very well to achieve this.

Congratulations on winning my Challenge with this amazing Oregon beach. The colors of the blue hour are wonderful and the birds and the crashing waves give the scene a lively energy. I love the touch of red in the upper left corner, it's just enough to blend in without distracting. Looking at this image brings me there, I can smell the sea and hear the birds, great work.
