I too agree with the ladies below! But, I'd also like to see thisin landscape orientation with you to the far right of the frame or possibly in portrait format but with you standing a little close to the edge of the frame (imho) :o)

And standing in the water? lol :o)I like your composition here and some how the people help to give that warm summers day feel to the image. Did you use a polariser? Only thing I would suggest is a smaller aperture (larger number) to get a greater DOF. For landscape stuff I tend to use up from F16.

Great lighting, detail and processing. The BW suits the subject nicely. For some reason I want to see less of the shoulders and more of the eyes, but thats probably just me!

Again a great use of depth of field here and the focus on the bottle is excellent. I have to agree with some of your commenters, the lighting on the 'man' is quite harsh and may have lost you a few points but other than that, good work! :o)

What a brilliant idea! I love your composition and the purple stands out nicely. The only thing that is a little distracting is I am not sure where your focus is. For me the purple should be your main point of focus but this doesnt look quite sharp enough in my opinion :o)

I can see your lines here and like your post processing. The only thing I would have changed would slightly quicker shutter speed. The 'whites' of the lights are a little too blown out :o)

A what a lovely way to start! I like your composition and your editing suits the subject very well. I am really impressed with how well your photography is coming along :o)

A well taken night image, you have set a good exposure making sure the lights on the buildings aren't blown out which is good. I love the low position you have as the viewer gets to see the detail and colours of the rope as well as the great backdrop. Well done :o)

Hi Victor, excellent idea! Such a shame you didn't get your original image in on time, at least you have learnt for the future! You seem to have got the hang of your depth of field and used it nicely here in this image. The image matches the challenge title nicely and had you submitted the original (and it been approved) I think this shot would have done very well :o)

Greetings from the Critique Club Shez!!

I am not sure I can say anything other that FANTASTIC!! A beautiful composition with wonderful colours that just pull the viewer in! I suppose the one and only 'negative' thing I can say about the image is that 'technically' (to all the DNMC voters) this doesn't strictly meet the challenge title. But, that said, your explanation tells us straight away the reason why this SHOULD fit the challenge!

Another lovely image from a lovely lady. Thank you for sharing this :o)
