 My daughter and son-in-law on a photo safari to the Palouse region of Washington state. They are sitting on a ledge 500 feet above Palouse Falls itself.

And in breaking news, Palouse Falls is the State Waterfall of Washington (the state vs. DC).

*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

This is a good example of how important the title is to an image.

I like your composition, making full use of the available frame by placing your main subject at the bottom you have managed to show us most of the landscape they are waiting to photograph. This does of course meet the challenge of procrastination well.

I can understand why you've chosen a large aperture to draw the viewers attention to your two relatives leaving the landscape in soft focus. However, the lack of detail somehow feels a little unsettling because to me, it feels as though this lack of detail is due to the ISO which given your camera is probably not the case.

With regard to your daughter and son-in-law I wish I could see both their faces and some interaction between them but they and the camera just don't feel as much a part of the whole scene as they should. I think a little touch that would have helped would have been to have the scene displayed on the cameras monitor too. The reds of their clothes really helps them stand out against the predominantly green landscape.

A fairly irrelevant observation is the voting pattern, the first time I've ever seen an image with such regularity, its a shame it didn't score higher and receive more comments. I find myself wanting to like it more than I actually do but also struggling to offer more constructive comments than I have, sorry.

Happy shooting Sid

Just getting to this point to view this is the journey of procrastination...
