 I know. I know.
1: It's not what you'd consider a classic portrait.
b: It doesn't look dark enough to represent "night-time".

Not much in terms of edit -- crop, hue/saturation, resize, dodge-burn....
Not expecting much. Perhaps around the mid-5 mark, hopefully?

Well, it's nearly the end of the challenge (few hours to go) and it's sitting at 5.3....
It's the worst scoring photo I've taken, though probably the one I like most.
Shame, really.
I guess it's not "portraity" enough.

Well it's an awesome story. Not a fan of the overdone vignette here (subtler would have made it merely a feature, not a distraction/major element) but the scene still is awesome. Two birds performed as well. 9

Magical. Love the two "witnesses" on the rocks. I love how the lovers seem to be emerging from the darkness and heading towards the glowing sand.
