Good title and the colors are certainly beautiful. I think composition really got you in a bad spot here. There's a lot going on (busy) and my eyes just keep wandering all over the image wanting more. All of the subjects on the edge of this shot are cropped out: The flowers on the bottom front and the ones in the bucket. The guy's back and feet. The lady's elbow, etc. The tilted canvas in the background didn't help you either. Also seems to be a stop underexposed as well. So many things fight for attention here that it's a bit hard to overcome.

Thanks for the opportunity to critique this image Shannon.

Your wife is certainly lovely and I am quite fond of the pose. Her stare is quite inviting as well.

The first thing the voters will notice is the image size. You will find that you will automatically start out at a disadvantage when you post up an shot of such small dimensions. As far as technicals go I think the exposure is fine. I do think you need some unsharp mask and levels adjustments here to bring out some pop. Also, for a glam shot you'll want to try a different backdrop and something other than a shirt. She'll need some make-up as well. Not necessarily needed for her beauty but for a glam shot it is a must.

Overall a pretty lady that you should be proud to show off.

At first glance I find this a pretty powerful shot. While his condition is definitely sorrowful, it evokes more emotion from me simply because of the smile. If he had a sad look on his face I don't think it work work so well. Your photographers comment using the definition of spirit is spot on.

Composition is good. I do think it would be just a bit better if you had cropped just above his crutches taking the items in the store windows out. They pull your eye towards them and away from the subject. Using my mouse I find the image more powerful scrolling to show just the black windowsills above him. I do like the fact that you didn't crop just below his feet but left a small bit of space. I also wonder how it would look if you moved just a bit to the left during shoot and crop him to the left 1/3 showing more open space to the right.

Overall a good job here and a capture you should be proud of.

Technicals are fine. Color, sharpness, focus - all nicely done. Other than these factors this is a difficult shot to critique. With the crowd around, this seems to be a bit of a snapshot which is somewhat tough to get a very high score out of. The flag in the background really makes the emotion and steals the show with this shot but I think you probably already knew that. If you could set this up I think you'd want no other people in the pic and shoot with the flag a bit further away from his head.

Overall a very emotive shot and considering everything I'd say it's great.

Thanks for the opportunity to critique this image.

Beautiful sunset with good colors. Horizon seems nice and level and the rocks are a nice touch. Has most of the elements for a good score at DPC - which your 6.3179 shows.

For an image like this to score very high here you'll have to let the sun go down just a bit more to get that rich color that the voters love. I think a higher crop showing more sky and a bit of the top of the foreground rock would've been better received. I'd also like to see it as I mentioned above but hit the rock with a bit of lighting to bring it out more. The shot itself is truly beautiful but seems to lack the "punch" that people need to be taken aback.

Overall a very nice shot indeed!
