I keep coming back to this image...it's so very intriguing...mysterious...and nicely subtle. The darkness I think enhances the "dreamlike" quality...it lends a certain vague essence that dreams often have...nicely done.

The droll of the water and the wispers of lovers. Bumping up.

might have been even better if the people were more visible while apart from each other and gazing towards the other...then shown more transparent together as this would be their dream. Does that make any sense to you...I hope I conveyed my though clearly.

The waterfall is great in this picture. The rest of the photo is really underexposed though. Would like to have a little more detail in it. Also, there are some sun spots in the upper-right part of the photo.

Great composition!! This really works for the photo. If I could vote, I'd give it a 9 :-).

It is a pity that the dark foreground cuts the couple off at the middle.

I like all of this, the color, the framing, the lighting.

These people ruined the picture of a beautyful waterfall.

I think it's pretty neat how you have the people converging on eachother but I find it unneeded. I find it adds more distraction than subject to this photo. Well done on the falls tho. Good luck in this challenge. <5>

'7' - I like the concept of this, even without the 'couple'.. now that I think of that I think this would be a better photograph without couple, in my opinion. Because, that angle you have and the size of the fall and the cliff face etc, makes for a very ahh 'mammoth', almost 'looming' kind of feel. Criticism (with the caveat I know squat about long exposures); whilst I do like the colors, perhaps more contrasting on the pebbles, or again, an even tighter (ground level) angle, to incorporate 'some' of the pebbles, giving even more perspective, would make this a better photograph in my opinion. Just if you were able to get that green on the cliff face a little 'bolder', and the gray of the pebbles, would make it a more dramatic shot in my opinion. As for the shot as it is (with the couple, and that 'dreaming' theme to fit with your idea for the Challenge), my first thoughts were that the blue jacket was not subtle like 'hers' and therefore detracts from the mood and feel of this photograph. In this instance, perhaps b/w would have worked better. The concept is a nice one though and does have a romantic type feel.. the only other criticism would be with the male, in his 'solo left' shot, he is looking at the camera and I think if he were looking at her (as she seems to be looking at him?), it would have made this a better photograph in my opinion.

I love the muted blue jacket. This has a serene feeling. The softness is quite effective. I like this alot. Reminds me of a poster you'd buy.
