It is Bethany Marshall from CNN

Fantastic perspective. Possibly a slightly lower camera position to move the light from behind her head, of course that would change the overall look of the model and I'm sure you didn't bring her out to shoot for the DPC weekly challenge! Nice work and effective use of the wide angle.

This is really cool use of the challenge, by using a long line of light under the pier as opposed to just the sun that gives the classic circular glow. this may have also been a reason why it didn't score so well, as it wouldn't be what the normal voter had in mind. I think it is cool, i would have like to have seen the light coming a little lower in the frame, so the light doesn't pop out of the top of her head. Other than that it is really creative entry, IMO.

The lighting is great the way it seems to bounce and filter into the shot.

I feel this would have made a far more interesting photo without the model.

I think this is really interesting. You're right the light just glams this right up! Great job.

I think I have seen this same place in the pop culture challenge, but not sure. Nice capture

There are great opportunities within this pile of pillars and wet sand, not very well used in this case though...
