Interesting color here. Not sure it works for me, but what I do like...

Is the composition and how you chose natures mirrors. Focus is soft and creates some mystery. 6

Greeting from the Critique Clubâ€Â¦

The first thing that grabs me about the photo Stand Against Fading Light is of course the dynamic colors. I like the contrast of silhouette of the tree to the background. This is the prefect time of day for a great shot like this.

I am not sure if you used a tripod or not for this shot but there is some blur. If you can I could use a tripod or something around I would defiantly use it to steady yourself. If the tree and branches were crisper I think it would have helped your score.

Another thing I would recommend is checking out the tutorial on resizing the image for the challenge. It really is beneficial and would probably help the score as well if you can maximize the size of your photo for the challenge.

You have a good eye and good timing; I look forward to more challenges from you.

This is a cool pic, cool (hot!) subject, but I feel that the composition is lacking. Personally, I think a vertical crop would have emphasize the subject better.

novel idea and good effort, the indistinctness of the flames don't really contribute well to the image.

Lovely silhouette and beautiful colors! Seems a bit grainy??? Maybe, oversaturated??? This would make a great web background tile!
