Greetings!

A lovely image captured. Technically you were able to achieve what you wanted, the reflector did soften the shadows, but the reflection in Kira eyes need to be cloned out, it doesn't look any good.

Also there is still some part of her face blown out, you may want to reduce your exposure, and move your reflector closer to lighten the shadows more, to be able to avoid blown out parts.

Challenge: It doesn't fit the challenge very well, not enough gold for the voters and its directly reflected in the votes received.

if you have any questions, please feel free to pm me

thanks,

Lovely image, well composed and the colors are great. Technically, its well shot, the colors in sky and silhoutte are captured nicely, the reflection in the foreground adds interest.

I agree with the comment about sun emerging from the back of the person. I would have definitely liked it to be hidden behind or in between the couple and not behind him.

if you have any questions, feel free to pm me

thanks,

Photograph: Well taken, the title is very appropriate and technically, its very well captured.

Challenge : the challenge was Gold, and I am sure not many people will find enough gold in this picture, there is are more colors in this picture which fight for attention, which I believe is the reason for a lower score.

Overall, a well taken photograph which doesn't meet the challenge very well.

if you have any questions, please feel free to pm me.

thanks,

My very first impression was that the image looks very ordinary, its a snapshot look and not a well thought out capture.

the reason, I think is that the subject is not accentuated in this capture, but its rather mixed up with its surroundings. Also the photo takes away from the moving sense, they you have composed it. its a bit too centered, I would keep some more room on a side to make it more dynamic.

also since its advanced editing, I think it could benefit from some vignetting.

if you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to pm me.

thanks,

Nicely done. I like the way sky is totally white, no details, the colors pop very well

the foreground seems soft, what was your aperture setting and where did you focus ?
also the horizon is dead centered which doesn't work for me
