I love this photo. Great work on the lighting. If I had to guess, I would say it was taken in front of a window with those Portuguese shutters closed most of the way. Anyway, very nice work.

I've decided to go through and give a comment to each user who registered on my birthday (April 6) of this year... perhaps I'll go back to other years as well. Anyway... this is incredibly beautiful! I love the soft dreamy effect you have created here, and what a great composition! Nicely done :-)

Perfectly set-up and beautifully executed! I can't think of any improvements that could made to this image. Another fine image from an upcoming DPC star!

I like how this looks like it's in a smoke filled bar. Good job keeping the hazy look in the picture instead of pumping up the contrast and ruining the mood.

Someone must really hate guitars...they gave you a two. Nice shot...just screams Nashville!!! *lol*

Of note, one aspect I didn't like was the washed out feel in some places. I took it into photoshop and adjusted the curves and went with a bit more contrast. Then I went into HUE/Saturation and darkened the blues and increased the blue saturations. I felt this helped the shot a bit subject to taste.

Beautiful, I like it just the way it is, the gentleness of the light would be disturbed if you made it more colorful.

This is a great picture!
I get the idea it could do with some colour enhancement, maybe by bumping up the saturation a bit, and playing with the levels to add more contrast.
Otherwise, I really like it.

Great composition, great backlighting. I like how just one of the little holes created a small star. Great job. 10
