Challenge: Letting Go (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Olympus C-730UZ
Location: NOT FAR FROM FRIBOURG, SWITZERLAND
Date: Feb 6, 2004
Aperture: 1/1000
ISO: 100
Shutter: F8.0
Galleries: Sky, Landscape
Date Uploaded: Feb 7, 2004

Taking the photo was not the problem. Getting to the scenic spot at the right time was the biggest challenge. Then laying flat on the ground, getting sopping wet was also fun, but rather cold. Snow was right next to me.
Asking my wife to admire the sunset was again very easy.
Back home, the picture was cropped slightly, very little more contrast added and the rest was as seen.
The inspiring title is going to the model’s credit.

very nice photo. "each day is a gift from God to be opened with a prayer". I think this quote fits well. Great capture. 7

Nice title! Really emphasizes the picture and the person standing there. The glare around the sun is a little bit distracting though. Other than that, this is an awesome picture! 9

You should have the picture protray the emotion instead of the CAPTION!!!!!!

Nice picture and concept. I like the silhoutte in contrast with the sky and the colors of the sunset. The flare is quite distracting though, because it draws the attention from the subject.
