The PP is great. The duotone looks nice and creates a very artistic feel (and dramatic in a way too) as SandyP said. Beautiful place too.

Their faces say it all! Even without the title, you'd know they are not having a good day.

I talked with a sports photographer once, and he said that the key is to have a good zoom lens, and a very high ISO so your shutter speed is as fast as possible. He said in sports photography, the extra grain you get from the high ISO is quite acceptable and preferable to having a shot with no grain but is blurry and doesn't stop the action. Its a hard type of photography to do. I've tried capturing the action at baseball games. Its harder than it looks.

I think this is a good story telling shot.

The layered rock makes an awesome BG. The duotone brings out the best in this as well. The high iso probably added to the contrast which is a good thing in this case.

I like the tones, also like the light around her gives the whole image a warm glow.
