I disagree with the above. The topic is Beach not person. I think the mystery surrounding the person works well. I like it as is. Wonderful work.

I actually agree with Sher on this one. Although I do wonder what a straight b/w would like. Wonderful idea!

Una fotografía con encanto. El viraje a sepia-rosaceo, un gran acierto. Encuadre, contraste, profundidad de campo y saturación muy buenos; solamente y coincido con Jeff en que se podría haber aclararado la silueta de la figura humana y definirla más. ¡Enhorabuena!

Cool !!! I'm happy it has been featured.

I really don't see much to improve here. One thing could be the shadows. I'd probably light that guy up just a little bit so that a little more detail is visible, but it would be really a fine tweak. I'm not sure what that thing is that hangs there on the third bar, but when I think about it, the photo would lose something if that would have been removed.
Really, that's a great shot!

she looks sad. I think I'd play with the contrast level some. Bring out more of the detail of the stone.

beautiful, don't think I would change a thing

oh, love it.. that sollitary feeling it gives :)
alltough I miss some details on the child..

part from that just brilliant!!

Very beautiful image - Needs cropping or lightening on the left for it to really work - in my opinion.

Best,

Good view!

Fantastic ~ I really love this shot!

awesome...

A very nice shot. The bridge in the fog. But I think the photo is better without the bird.

ooh.. such a beauty..
my favorite for today..

the bird makes it so special..

Hm... great photo.

Wonderful! Very dramatic.

Fantastic art! Love the imagination here!

Very strong image. Almost belongs under the topic "a shot with a story" and I'm sure its a sad story. The lighting for me, is perfect. I love it.

A very powerful and moving image.......it tells a story.

Great composition...
Love the wok on lights !
Very powerful !

excellent composition, tones, lighting and subject..

I like the lines in this picture..

what's the story behind the image?

Like others already mentioned, a crop in the top, or bottom but..... this scene is so beautiful....

A great pet portrait.Great composition, and the lighting is well done

Nothing to mension, very adorable picture..

What can I say.....:-)))) So funny ! And the expression is superb !

Superb. Everything works geere.

Everyone above is right!!

a very graphique composition
I like the texture of the wall and the repeat patern of the stairs shadow

Nice symmetry.
Good works on light and contrast

Agreed. I really like this one.

very, very beautiful.. such special creatures..
congratz..

i really like the backdrop

incredible shot! Congratulations!!

really nice! great timing. i loved it!

Its the lines, contrast and consistant texture of wood that really does it for this photo. I think the bear? on the right can be quite distracting, I would consider cropping him out. That chair against everything really is lovely but my eye keeps getting drawn to the right.

Beautiful reflection! Photos like this make me love black and white!! What is that thing on the right? It looks like it's ready to jump in!! I vote to keep it - adds a little flavor to your photo! Very nice!

I too am wondering what that thing on the right is but think that removing it would also remove much of the photo's impact on the viewer, as there is missing something. If you should remove the bear? there then add something else, i.e. a person.
I also like the lines, curves and the contrast! Good work!

Thanks for the comments. For those who are wondering, the "thing" on the right is a ceramic pig (I don't own it; I just photographed it). This photo was made at a charity event on Maui. I liked the pool, reflections, and arbor. The pig just came with the view and I decided it gave the photo another point of interest, so I kept it in the frame.

Stunning contrast...that chair is simply gorgeous!

hi there my friend..
it's been a while since the last time..
how are you doing?

Really love this image!! love it how just the guitar or the music is comming out :)

how did you do this?

cheers,
Maria

Really nice composition and the lighting works really well for the subject matter

Constructive Criticism...hmmm...well, it rocks :)

Does that count?

interesting lighting! i like it alot :)

Like the shot - original and good use of space - I don't like that the right hand is as overexposed as it is. Good job.

Best,
Jon
