Wow, this works as contrast on a couple of different levels: The contrast of the high-contrast mountain with the much lower contrast village, which is sitting in the shadows of nightfall or another mountain.

Your image has beautiful depth. I'm not sure how I feel about the shadow, though. The foreground is appealing, as is the color of the very light part of the sand. There's a sensual feeling to the composition.

Even if you didn't take the picture, it's lovely. You did some wonderful post-processing, too. The softness really suits this portrait. And I agree with some other comments about both of your eyes - they sparkle!

Awesome contrast, great subject, wonderful composition. The only criticism I have is that the guy looks a tad on the green side. Otherwise, this is one of my favorites so far.

Do I understand your question then, is it hopeless and forlorn?

This is an incredibly moving image, in particular the part below the line of the rocks.

Great title! I like the motion of the woman's hand. The only criticism I can offer is that (imo), there seems to be a bit to much white dust on the shiny surface that the bottle is sitting on and some around the bottle itself. I do like the way the light is moving through the image.

This would've been a 10 from me as well. Your parents both have the most wonderful expressions, which you've managed to capture kindly and with all the warmth that they deserve. I love the coloring, the soft focus, and most of all, the tilt of your father's head towards your mother and you. I can't wait to see your challenge entry!

It's easy to see that effort went into making this - the rubber ducky is a nice touch! The image has some problems for me, though: I wish the blue plastic thing weren't there, the fence confuses me because I can't figure out what that silver thing is at the left of it, and the baby in the foreground is overexposed.
