A really well captured sunset. Great work on the exposure, an interesting silhouetteand some lovely clouds at the top to balance it out. A bit too orange maybe? Nah, I don't think so, the colour works well.

I tended to score most of the "pretty" scenic shots pretty low this challenge. But that is not the case for this one. Even though they are but a small portion of the image they are definately the subject of the photo. I like the way the smallest child is lifted into the aair. This adds a bit of depth to your theme. The colors and siloutte work are perfect. Keep up the great work!!

very nicely done, nice group of figures, fantastic sunset, very good.

Lovely, but the composition doesn't seem balanced... it's too left-heavy. Not a fan of centered horizons. Obviously, the silhouettes are great.

eek - absolutely perfect except one kid has only one leg.

Great POV! Love the saturation and the capture - did you use a gradiated filter? and possibly a polorized filter(the sky shows it but not the water really)? Great job! 9

Not only does the photo depict "uplifted", but one of the kids is actually being uplifted. Great shot! 9

What a great moment to capture. How lucky you were to be there and thank you for sharing it here.

I get a strong sense of joy from this picture because of the bright vivid orange color and the pose of the children. This is an excellent picture and I hope to see it score high

Lovely image, great story behind it. Yellow looks a bit strong to me, but that may be the way you captured it.

Beatiful photo. I love the color and composition.
