This is an amazingly moody and powerful image. The jagged rocks definitely add to this, and the way that you have only included a small section of sky makes this stand out more. The conversion to black and white is pleasing and seems to bring out more details that I don't think you would see if this was in colour. Well done :-)
I like the way that you have tried something a bit different with this shot, with zooming in on a smaller section of the Durdle Door. You have caught some nice movement in the waves hitting the rocks, and the conversion to black and white works nicely. Well done on a nice shot and also thinking outside the box :-)
I love the long exposure used here and the convert to black and white really sets the mood. I like the way that the rocks in the FG lead your eye into the photo to the silhouetted cliffs in the BG. Movement in the clouds is pleasing, and the way that the light is picked out on the wet rocks in the FG is spot on. Well done on taking First Place :-)

This could be the cover of a book. I think that it shows mystery and I lover the muted colours in the FG and rocks in the distance, but the way that the sky pops. It almost looks like it's been colour popped. The figure at the end of the rocks is pleasing and you can make up a million stories to what they are doing out there. Well done on a great shot :-)
