A lot of great ideas in this shot. Everything in this shot is in tribute to Sean. Well executed.

This would be better if it wasn't so set up. You should have found a wild tripod wearing a cowboy hat and carrying a camera in front of a solar explosion of green yellow and whatever color that is. By the way, is it supposed to be red or orange? I can't tell because it isn't natural.

I can totally tell this is a studio shot and it shouldn't be even though this is a photography contest.

Maybe next time loser.

Too posed and photoshopped for my taste.

I was going to mark this down because I didn't like the background, luckily I thought about it for a second and after a second of research realized these are the colors of the Portuguese flag. Nice tribute!

The idea is great , IMO crop is a little too tight , the camera body silhoutte is not to clear (spreading the tripod legs a part a little more would help greatly) , 7
