Through the Arch

A truely loveloy composition. I like the balance, symetry and solidity of the stone arch, and how it frames the more natural scene behind it. I like how the rocks tumble at an angle and the ferns peek out under the arch. Perhaps framing it with a touch more room to the left and below you invite the viewer to enter the scene more - moving into the photo from the left ?

Wow, that purple sky is just the right balance between going too dark and being unnaturally light. Beautiful colors and reflections, and the bridge makes a great compolsitional element.

There seems to be very little plant life in this picture and what little there is is blurred and doesn't have much detail.

The plant life appears to be a very secondary element to this image. Can't decide whether to deduct a point for that or not. I guess many people will have an interpretation issue with this one.

I may have to come back and score this later.

This shows movement and laughter and captures the spirit of childhood for me. Love it.

I like the blurred softness from movement but would have preferred that you use a portrait format to see more of the young boys body to see that you are pushing him up with your feet. Lighting and toning is good. Nice compelling image.
