Wonderful image! The composition is great. I actually like how everything is gray in this shot... the lack of contrast gives this a very brooding, moody atmosphere. Good job!

Cool, I love all the reflections... it's like the figure is lost in blue. :) Neat shot!

I submitted this in the April Free Style and received some good feedback. I cropped it and lightened it. I think it makes a better image. Thanks for the feedback DPC.

beautiful! THe lighting and the colors... I think I might have cropped a little off the bottom, just because I love the golden lights on the top of the image. But that's just my opinion! :) Sweet capture.

Very cute pose, it seems slightly OOF though. Nice motion capture in the background.

IMO- The girls need to be sharpened a bit. The whole shot needs to be brightened up.

Critique Club Review:

Contrary to what people say size does matter, especially in photographs. In any challenge, you should take advantage of the size allowances and the kilobytes allowed to get the most detailed entry possible.

Smaller photos can hide softness of focus, and other ills, and all to often the voters suspect that is what has been done.

Overall I like the composition, lighting, exposure, contrast, brightness. B&W was an excellent choice for this piece. I don't believe color would have worked nearly was well. I really can't judge shapness at this size. There does not apprear to be any artifacts from over processing.

I like this picture a lot, and had it been full size you would have scored much higher.
