What a beautiful palette of colors that you were able to capture. The rich blues in the foreground and the fire orange of the sky makes you want to be there. Technically... The composition of your photograph is excellent. Breaking the photo into thirds, with the blue pools as foreground, the dark area surrounding the couple makes for a great middleground and the sky a great background. The twosome, are in one of the hot spots, which ties the whole picture together. So why didn't it win? My guess, and only a guess, would be the image of the two people might have been a little small and lost in the overall picture. None-the-less, the work is something you can be proud of and keep in your favorites file.

Very pretty scene. Is that a photographer in the distance?

It seems that the real action was at the top of this picture. Maybe more sky and less forground? A really beautiful sky.

Would have been perfect for the upcoming landscape challenge. =-) 7

How high did you crank the contrast and saturation controls?
01/08/2003 09:49:08 AM
This is beautiful! So luminous. Composition is terrific too.

Wonderful work. Great contrast.

I'd have just used the top 1/3 of this picture. That is awesome color. The bottom half is too much extra. If you had some nice reflections in the big puddle ok, but its relatively colorless and is not adding to the picture. - Inspzil

Nice, just plain nice. 8

wow!

Beautiful sunset. Great colors. The forground is pleasing to look at, and I like how the horizon divides this photo, with the larger portion at the bottom. Great angle and framing/cropping. Good luck in the challenge.

Very striking sunset, kind of hard to tell if there is a figure or what it is under the sunset, but over all awesome photo. 8.

Take my comments for what they are worth for I am just a novice with a new camera. Dodo

I like sunset and sunrise shots! Is that another photographer with a tripod near where the sun meets the horizon? I like the way you were able to get some foreground detail without completely blowing out the highlights. I also like the shape of the water in the foreground. Nice job! this is also the song my wife and I danced to at our wedding for the first time! For that you get a 9!!
01/06/2003 06:27:19 PM
WOW!!! love the colors, silhouette & contrast 9

Wow - nice sunset. The clouds are great, the colours are wonderful and the stillness of the ponds are all working for you. It looks like another photographer in the distance, which in some ways is distracting but in other ways it's nicely recursive... A photographer taking a photograph of another photographer, both chasing the same sunset. Well done.

great sunset 8
01/06/2003 01:28:03 PM
outstanding photo

Good choice of song title for the picture. But it would have been better to be closer to the photographer in the background and the song title would have matched better.
01/06/2003 08:34:19 AM
Such beautiful colors. I think I would like it better without the lower water area. Howeve, still a great photo !

Looks like you pushed the colour up a little too far on this. Nice sunset though. 7 - floyd
