Realy nice work ReefFrog!

I have some questions about voting?
Will we vote for one picture or for all five?
Becouse someone can have realy good picture but the other 4 are not so good?
And 3 week is too long for challenge. Becouse the point of challenge is in short time find good inspiration and picture it! Everyone can wait for prfect circumstances. This are my toughts!
I still prefer one picture per person. 5 is too much! maybe two but however!

Looks like I'm too late, but I figured I'd post this anyway. Its not a particularily good photo and It could probably use a little crop, but here it is anyway. I havent adjusted the colours in any way

Reef frog, I don't know if you meant to get that picture or if it was just serendipity...but it's really nice.

All the photo's are excellent and answer the brief, however this one just pushes the creativity just a little more than the others.

The atmosphere and feel is great. And also, just a simple white border helps a picture so much more...and is a great representation of presentation. It isn't just about auto-leveling in photoshop! It's about 'printing' and post work...and this proves how simple it can be to add an extra dimension..just a simple white border. However it has to be done right, and add to the picture...there is no point just putting a border around a picture just for the sake of it.

Jonton, are you sure you did no 'editing', as this looks like it's been burnt in around the edges? But again a nice photo.

And Insane, I think the beach and surf should be darkened or cut off as it just makes me look at that instead of the focus...which is this lovely sunset. Nice composition, well thought out.

However my overall vote is for Reef-frog.
Well done.

I hope these pictures arn't too big, and I hope mosaics are allowed.

Other than the facts that they're 2-3 picture mosaics (Because I dont have a wide-field lense) they're unedited. I just love the wide views and panoromic effects.

These are from the first sunrise of 2006 from the shores of Fort Lauderdale, Florida with my new Digital Rebel XT.

Yes, I said no editing cos it does look like it has been edited but it hasnt - the sky was like that for about five mins as dark closed in.

Burning it around the edges and entering it in a no editing photo challenge would be dumb and lame, so please.
