Just wonderful...love the light, the girl is so cute. I hate the black strap, but the whole shot is just a winner. Great face, expression is fantastic. LOVE this.

Great shot, beautiful subject. Lovely expression on her face, a truly great portrait, would love to have shot it myself. Not sure about the frame, I love it - 10 (the only 10 from me this challenge)

Comment by Toddh:
Great shot! I love the composition, love the skin tones and love the interaction she has with the camera....... the only, only thing I don't like (and I really dislike it alot!) is the white border.... but without it I love the image.... maybe, from my personal viewpoint I might have made oh-so slightly darker..... but it's gettin' a 10 from me!
Good luck, Todd.

Initial thoughts
Beautiful composition, meets the challenge, wording would have helped it.

Composition/ Content
I am a fan of your photography and this is a very nice postcard shot. It is like many I have seen. I think that some wording in that bottom right dark corner would have really made the challenge. It was made for it. It looks like a beautiful place. I like the angle you used on the water and the way it drifts off to the right.
Technical
Focus seems good and contrast is excellent for the difference in light and shadow you have here. I wonder if just a bit more saturation could have been called for.

My Opinion On The Photo
I originally scored this shot a six. I think that it meets the challenge well and the wording would have helped. Sunsets are fairly commonplace and have to really be a knockout here to score well. Good job, and keep up the great work.


I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.

Ja! Adivinamos los comentarios! La foto está muy bella, especialmente por las diagonales y la luz sobre el agua.

The dark sand would have been a good spot for some test to identify the location.

greetings from the critique club!

The first thing that strikes me in these images is the color. As pointed out by others, I think some space between the images would help greatly.

Comment by Gracious:
The color is gorgeous, especially reflected on the water. The diagonal comp is good. Should have included some text on the sand, but no big deal. Still a good postcard...from where???
