You have done so well this picture!

I love it. I thought I gave it a 10, but it doesn't show my vote. :-(.

See, all the people you commented, and took time to appreciate it, gave it a very high score. 7.57.

Regards,
Vikram

P.S. One more thing, you aperture shows 1.8, and that is what it looks like. But your lens does not have that aperture, maybe you specified other lens by mistake.

I like this portrait very much. Photographically it is excellent, and the expressions natural and 'in present'.

I just wish that you have included a bit more space (negative, especially to to the left), and gone for a rectangular framing!

Wonderfully done picture. You got very good scores too, if you see from the overall voting patterns. My view is this that you can ignore the 5 and and below for this picture and continue to take this technique to your next level. The graininess and the slight framing improvement, are the only thing that might be considered for improvement.

The mood, the elements (beach, birds, sea, girl, waves, sand) and the stillness of the motion that you create in this picture is simply wonderful!

Regards,
Vikram

There may be many good pictures in the challenge, but there
are few which you create a warm resonance within you. As I was browsing the free-study for such pictures, I came across this. You might have only 5 minutes to come up or create this picture. But what you have done is wonderful (at least, a 10 from me!)

Congratulations on the wonderful capture! :-).

Congratulations on your ribbon Melethia! Wonderful moody capture with a lovely composition (the two trees on the horizon make it so much more interesting)!
