Have a light?

A nice revisit of the famous original.

Perhaps a little bit more ambient light to define the perimeter of your composition would have been an improvement, since as it is the periphery is quite dark. Overall a good image with a lot of pop. 7

What rich colors and clarity, even shooting into the sun. I suggest a slight counter clockwise rotation to level out the horizon. The dynamic range (or your post processing) of your camera is quite impressive given the subtle silhouettes of the trees superimposed on the distant hills.

While I think this composition works, perhaps a focal point of something in the lake would have added to the interest of the foreground, like a boat, or a fisherman. I

I'll score this an 8.

Wow congratulations on your blue ribbon and personal best! This is just fantastic. I wish I had time to revisit this one and bump up the score I gave you (7). Good luck in your future challenges.

Originally posted by stdavidson: Technically great image that should have scored higher. This is one of my favorites.

How this could receive votes less than 5 is beyond me. I think perhaps it is due to 9/11-fatigue, or a touch of weariness to iconism.

Nice desat. Some blown highlights on the cheeks and collar, but an exceptional composition and must be a joy to shoot such an adorable child. Well done.

Love the silhouette. I wish the piping was not included in the lower right but overall a bold display of horrific power.

Good portrait. Would recommend a higher crop to include more of her face. Nice use of negative space and good pose.
