Very nice selection. The tiny people are definitely the subject here against a beautiful background. Maybe a little too much empty sky that would be fine if there were some clouds. |

nice straight horizon. Did you consider putting it closer to one of the thirds? |

This is just ephemeral. I wonder how it's doing? It's so understated it's probably being overlooked, but I like it very much. The quality of the water, that's SUCH a hard thing to capture, to make it soft instead of harsh. But what really sets this image into a special class is the drop-off to the right. If it were just a straightish landline, left to right, then it's a nice shot but nothing more. But something about that dropoff is just SO compelling; no wonder the figures are headed that way :-) Good luck with this one! |

The two people walking really adds to the shot -- they give it context, emotion and "scale." |

Great perspective with the tree and the hikers. A bit overblown on the sun reflection, but the sky is beautiful. A bit grainy towards the horizon. |

I like how the people are silloueted without going too dark on the hillside or blowing out the details of the sea. Very nicely captured! |

It sat there and waited, a heart as black as the deepest night, though there were none that realized it. There were none because it left none remaining to tell. None remaining to go back to their people and open their eyes to the evil that was he.
It sat there and waited, and sure enough, in time, came two more towards it. Two more that walked gladly and happily and took in the colors of the falling sun. Two more that knew nothing more than the pleasant breeze on their faces and the still lingering warmth in the air. Two more that had no idea of the doom that they were heading towards.
It sat there and waited, and they grew ever closer, and its branches shuddered with anticipation, and its bark dripped sap as if the thing salivated at the thought of what was to come. Closer, and closer they came, and it began to reach out, reach out to entrap them in it's farthest limbs, to...
... and then they stopped, and they held each other, just out of reach, maddeningly out of reach, and then they turned and began to stroll the other way, back from where they had come.
If it could have screamed, it would have. Deafeningly so, for they were getting away, and it could do nothing, rooted to this damnable spot! It did what it could do, however, and rustled madly and woe to the crow that would land in its branches tonight. Woe to any living thing that came near!
This time, this time it had lost out, but there would be a next time.
There was always a next time. |

a lot of sky...could have cropped this down, like the division of land and water...just to much sky |

That dark tree is a bit imposing but I love that vast stretch of sky. The blue melting into the peach is lovely. |

nice use of negative space, perfect silhouettes. had cropped off a bit at left to keep the blown reflection out of the frame. |

Very nice, a little bit more foreground would maybe make it even better with more space below the tree, but I like this picture as it is also. |

Great use of negative space to enhance the wide open nature of this image. And the comfort of a tree to rest under for the tiny couple who have traveled far. Very nice. |

Nice silhouette. I like how its in focus and has a very interesting likability. The blue at the top is nice and good that you thought of not giving it to much of a frame. One of my favs so far. |
