Comment by Teafran:
A candid portrait and effective presentation just slightly marred by some unfortunate highlights in the teeth and eyes akin to hot pixels. Nicely controlled overall (with the exceptions noted) with good use of DOF (which is not over done). While of snap shot quality from an artistic sense, it does match the challenge criteria. Very nice capture.

A solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being richly colored with excellant detail. This image would have worked as a black and white as well. A perfect demonstration of the power of properly controlled light and focus. A top ten image and a very strong contender for a ribbon. Well done.

I waited for the longest time on this fountain one time and it never went off, very nice capture, I like the position of the fountain and hotel in the image.

I might have cropped tighter to the left. There's too much going on to the right. I understand your focal point is the fountain, but my eyes are drawn off to the right by the background.

Oh my! I am so impressed! I haven't been down to Port A in a while (I live in San Antonio), but I can assure you of all the times I've been there, I have never seen it look this beautiful! You make our Gulf look as exotic as the beaches on the East and Pacific coasts :) My hat goes off to you!!!

Note to self: Plan a trip to Port A for sunset soon!
