beautiful sunset but I'm feeling that the sunset is the focus instead of the person

i hope you got some shots of this without the person in it. the person just doesnt add anything to this beautiful image... lovely colors..

Beauiful colors. Wonderful composition. Only thing I didn't like, the border, so unneeded.

Beautiful sunset but this is a people challenge which is where I feel the focus of the photo should be.

Seems oversaturated and the person is lost in the scene.

Nice saturated colour.

This is beautiful. I don't think the person is the focus of the picture though.

How did you get such good lighting in the foreground? The water foam near shore is a bit too blue, but otherwise a good photo.

a very pretty picture
but the person is not the focus of the image

Beautiful shot. The colours are amazing. I really hope you don’t get marked down because the person in this picture is really not the main focus and in fact is just an element of the whole. I think the immersion into the environment is perfect for this kind of shot because it helps to convey the beauty of the nature and how people react to it. The only adjustments I would have made (specific to this theme) is made the person more detailed – it’s almost a silhouette which would have worked if the person did not blend so well into the rocks with the colouring and the limbs close to the body posture. Outside of the challenge I’d leave it as is.

Beautiful colours. The person almost looks lost among the grandeur

Lovely sunset, wish I was there! Only thing that is distracting to me are the waves near the rocks, they seem a little over-saturated by the blue color. Good Luck.

Without the person, this could be a postcard! Some interesting post processing on this one....but I think it works well with the emotion of the photo. Very nice.

Beautiful job with the coloring! I'm sure there was a lot of PS work done to this, but it was done nicely, and the end result looks like a painting.

nice saturation and bright highlights in waves

great color. she gets lost in the rocks a little.

I like this but it looks too "fake" to me. Looks like you played with the colors a little too much, if I am wrong then I apologize up front.

Amazing colors of sea and sky.

The scene is nice, maybe just a bit too much post processing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I scored this photo lower, because the lady appears to be watching the sunset instead of being the central focus of the photo.

looks a bit over-processed

Wow! That is gorgeous! The silhouette is perfect. I love it!

Nice sunset image with good colors but the nature and sunset appear to be the main focus of the picture but not the person.

The color saturation distracts from the image.

great photo
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice idea, but this looks really overdone and fake. The water at the horizon was obviously cloned at least once, maybe twice and the colors, while fantastic, are just that- fantastic.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I think the burning/dodging and saturation gives this a dreamy, fantasy feel. I would rate this higher if the figure placed more prominently in the composition. It's almost an afterthought to the glorious sunset. Still, this is easily top 20% and thus I offer you a score of 7.

I nice sunset, but I think that the 'people' connection is a little low
