* Greetings from the Critique Club *

Boy, is this a difficult image to comment on... It's beautiful, please don't get me wrong. It's extremely well composed and the colors are very life-like (not overdone as many images are).

I do have to say though, that the blurriness of the background images is a little distracting (although I realize that they were probably done that way purposefully), and that the sky is a little drab. You could probably punch up the sky colors with some selective processing (if you want your image to appear that way - I'm certainly no expert, but I do know what I like). The most important thing to remember is what YOU feel and what YOU like about the shot.

There are portions of this image that seem abnormally sharp to me (namely the girl and some of the foreground) - did you happen to selectively increase that level of contrast & sharpness? If so, I think you might be better off with a more even-handed approach to this particular shot. (I know that in many instances you want to selectively sharpen, but I'm not sure that it works in your favor in this particular case.)

It really is a beautiful setting & a well-composed shot. Nice job.

Just my 2 cents... :-)

A pretty scene, certainly, if over-exposed for my taste - the colour tones could certainly be stronger for a litle less brightness and, perhaps, more contrast. DOF effective, but the shot as a whole lacks a spark of inspsiration, for me.

Nice feeling to this picture. I would like a deeper depth of field, but as is, it is still very appealing.
