I like the idea but the gate obscures too much of the action

I like the idea of this. I would have liked to see both people's eyes.

I think this would have worked better without the big metal gate in front of them. Specifically, because it is blocking out her eye, and has some spiderwebs on the top that are a little distracting.

I like the idea of them behind the iron scrollwork. I think it would be more effective in BW as the blue of her dress pulls my eye right to it and not their faces. :~)

Stunning. Beautiful lady, beautiful environment, great light, and the sepia adds a timelessness that I like.

One tiny nit. I think you could have dried her cheek and forehead a bit. It looks like it might have been hot that day.

From the Critique Club:

Great shot. In regards to subject matter, I do agree that the concept is implied rather than depicted. Once has to understand youth being misunderstood in order to get the message. The photo does not clearly convey that outside the context of this challenge.

But let's examine this strictly photographically.

Excellent use of perspective and time exposure. There is balance with the moving bodies on either side of the foreground. There is balance with the three boys in the mid-ground. The only thing I notice is that I think it would be better without the moving body on the left center - that takes away from the main subjects a bit. That is the one thing I would change.

You seem to have done a good job with exposure. Your main subjects are correctly exposed and in focus and you have controlled the lights in the ceiling from being blown out. The horizon is straight - as matched to the ceiling tiles.

I think as a photo this could have scored higher, but I imagine the vagueness of its connection to the challenge topic may have hurt the score a bit.

This is cool, I have tried it before and just like the way it looks, love the way she is staring off into the distance perfect shot of lazy summer days.
