This should have placed higher. I think it suffered at the hands of more 'conventional' voting preferences.

Great shot. Must had been a pain to bring your lights to a location huh? Great focus and DOF.

Good shot. Like the lighting. The only thing that bothers me is the brightness of the picture on the right. Not sure if it would look better if it were darker. You can feel the emotion. Good luck Mr.S.

Iceland? Don't realy get the message from the photo but I guess they just broke up but the title is the only thing that tels you what is happening. the guy in the front is sharp and well lighted. Good luck.

Love the composition with him lit brightly against dark sky and her darker against lighter section of sky and water reflection. They both have perfect expressions for the title too. Excellent job.

Nice emotion and lighting. I don't know if it was planned but her warm jacket reinforces the "cold feelings" of a break up. Curious if you took one with the subjects facing away from each other and how that looked.

I love it when a photo tells an interesting story that holds my attention because it is well done too

This is really well done, and I wonder what other poses you tried, I think having the male facing left and the women facing right would have been interesting so that they are facing away from each other. Either way its a great entry

Very nice, full of emotion

i get the saying, but now how it fits the picture, confusing

Great lighting and composition. I really want a battery powered monolight for myself :-)

Good concept. I like the way the girl is in the background like the boy is thinking of her.

Looks like that ending to a sad maovie. Great shot. It evokes a lot of emotion. Perfect background setting.

The mood (colour and lighting) and emotion is right on. A nicely balanced composition. Super.

This is great. So telling, even without the title. Love the deep blues/grays. Excellent.

I like it, I really do. The twilight feel to it is what makes this image!

nice image. I like how the picture explains itself
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/03/2006 01:08:36 PM
how sad... the composition could be better. just a suggestion, they could be facing back2back. But the image as a whole, I like. 7

a little contrived, but nice shot anyway
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very nice. Very emotive. Fantastic use of lighting and color. A blue mood is perfectly fitting.

A strong choice for top ten?

Wow, fantastic shot. One of the most professional looking shots I've seen on here.

Love the image, would have been a 10 from me if they were facing away from each other
