Behind The Fence

I believe this photo would have been stronger if she had been in sharp focus and the fence OOF, as it is this is way to busy to my eye.

Great photo, beautiful colors, subdued. The bare ground on the far side of the bridge right over the railing distracts my eye just a tad, maybe the viewpoint could have been lowered 12", but I'm nitpicking here.

Something about this photo draws me in, I'm not sure what it is but it's a great shot.

I'm still new here so I haven't seen all the water drops you guys speak of and I'm really impressed with this shot, gorgeous. I feel it should have placed much higher.

I'm a noob to this site but if I may make an observation. The sky is a very strong element of this composition and is beautiful but the foreground, the big expanse of grass, is not. The horizon is very close to the center, weakening the composition. My suggestion would be to crop the foreground almost up to the first line of trees. This would give the sky much greater weight and strengthen the whole. This would also give the photo a panorama type look which I feel would look good. A 16X10 aspect ratio can be quite nice.

I have to be honest here. I rated this picture low because when I first saw it I disliked it immediately. The subject looked so greedy I was turned off the whole picture. When I saw that it had won, I looked at it with new eyes and started to appreciate the technical expertise required to shoot the photo and began to realize the power of the photo. It conveys it's subject extremely well, so well that I still don't like the photo! If I can ever take a photo that is half as powerful as this I will be happy.
Great job Shutter-For-Hire.
