Quite a nice image, although I'd like to see the kite (assumption). I'm confused how there can be a sharpening halo around the couple though...

Comment by accomplice:
The jpeg/compression artifacts around the people are distracting.

Comment by brumer0:
Its a bit grainy and the people are a bit too small to act as the point of interest in the picture. Maybe Im missing it.

Grainy and not cery sharp. I like the composition and the overall fell though.

Not sepia enough for me, plus its too small! I can see the pixels! Its a nice shot though.

Comment by bassbone:
the composition seems very awkward with the trees overlapping with the flag. also, my eyes seem more drawn to the crane rather than the flag for some reason.

Nothing against the American flag, but this shot doesnt grab me. The position of the flag just feels odd and the tree branches are distracting.

How strange! No comments and a 4.6 score??? I don't get it. I think this is a lovely shot!! Certainly undeserving of a 4.6.

I love those blues, and the dreamy processing is beautiful. Too bad it wasn't advanced editing so you could lighten up and show a little more detail in the foreground. But still. I really like the photo alot!

Comment by violinist123:
I am going through and leaving comments on photos I voted low. Biggest problem here is that it doesn't meet the challenge of shooting something from the perspective of the ground up. This is a shot pretty much on the level with your subject. So there's a big mark against though I suppose hairs can be split and degrees of ascent argued. Setting that aside, the foreground lighting detracts from the lights in the one house which would otherwise draw my attention quickly and make me think about that part of the photo. What's happening in there, that house looks alive, etc - things that let me take this photo and draw my own conlusions about it. Also looks like the photo is a bit out of focus or suffers from a little motion blur, hard to say, but nothing on that house is looking to crisp. A lot of that combines together to make the only focal point here the two pieces of overexposed light by the door and in the window - not very interesting.

Good effort.

Comment by Caitlyn:
Just my opinion but the photo lacks sharpness, appears fuzzy. The branches above the roof line toward the back have a "halo" of darkness around them. Good showing of stars.
