IMHO I might crop more off the left for a basic editing challenge because of the bright spot really draws the eyes away from the pretty scene. (In advance you could do a little burning.)

I reckon that just as an ordinary photo (without the Hollywood border) it would still be a delight.

Greetings from the Critique Club -

Dont ya just hate it when you get so close to a 6 and can't quite make it over. Bummer.

You have a nice image here. The colors might be a little oversaturated for some tastes but they arent heavily so. The perspective and action caught is very cool. Especially with the distant landscape as your backdrop. Good focus and detail and just an interesting shot.

Theborder is a bit much IMO. I woul dhave preferred a much thinner border and had more of your image filling the screen. The border just takes up too much room.

Not much else to comment on. You have a good shot and you got a decent score considering its a Free Study. People really want WOW to give out the higher votes. You did well.

And perusing through your portfolio I must just add that you do some great work in the digital art realm. Very creative and well done. Keep up the good work.

Tim

I stayed on Hamilton Island during the time I took this photo, but this was a little boat trip away from there on a place called Whitehaven beach on Whitsunday Island.

Thanks to everyone else for the comments. Much appreciated. :)
