i like the suns rays and how the fall on the water, but if you could have waited untill the sun wasnt covered by clouds that would have been cooler

I like how the sunset brings the light to the picture, and makes for a really pretty background.

your subject is well lit, but I find all the blades of grass in the foreground sdistracting

I think the scene would have been more peaceful without her in the scene. ;p

Being so close to the girl, your eye gets stuck there, and dosen't go all the way to the back of the photo where there is a beautiful sunset. Cropping the picture to just the sunset would have been better.

this is a stunning capture. I would like to know how you did it!

The scene is pretty but it looks like you had to use a flash on the model, which I'm finding a bit harsh. Diffuse light would work a little better with the theme of a peaceful scene (either diffuse the flash or take the picture when the sun is a little higher so the model is naturally lit).

Great composition. The fill flash for the foreground perhaps feels a little harsh compared to the softness of the sky/sea.

Very nice photo, though I think the composition could be more pleasing. The lighting from the flash looks a little harsh as well.

I'm having a thing about titles this challenge for some reason. This is the only place on earth? To her? To everyone?

This picture has a dark color scheme that does not make it a bad photograph. It does not seem as if the sky in the background goes with the subject in the grass.

The flash distracts here... Perhaps her silhouette would have worked better?

It is a nice sunset with dramatic clouds. Is your subject supposed to be doing yoga? I guess that from the hands but very little else supports that idea. Her clothing (including the bare shoulder) and posture make me think she's just paused for a moment to look at the sunset. Your fill light makes the scene look very unnatural (her back should be dark if the scene is lit by the sunset) and even with the fill light her head blends in with the grass in the background.

I love the background part of the photo. You should have just taken a photo of that without the person IMHO. But a nice shot overall. 6

Like: Unique approach, extremely good detail in the sunset and background.
Dislike: Hands bug me, I think it would have been much more powerful without them holding up the sign. And im not sure how much control you have over your flash but a more powerful lighting in the foreground would have helped.
Overall good image.

Great job! I like that you put some effort into getting this shot. I hope it does really well.

the background is wonderful! the colors are great. but i don't like the foreground so much, it looks like there is too much of a flash light glowing off her skin, shirt, and beach grass :(
i give it a 6
