Critique Club Review:

Nice photo! Focus, color, saturation, hue, exposure, depth of field, and lighting are all excellent. I really like your use of the angle of the light to bring more texture and shape to the subject. I notice you flipped the picture vertical. (Yes I am sitting here twisting my head all around to see it from different angles.) I think the flip did improve the photo. People (western cultures) read left to right & top to bottom, and tend to see pictures the same way. The other way, the light would seem to come from the bottom, which is less "natural".

One thing, already suggested during the challenge, would be to rotate so the seam would be vertical. The seam and associated shadow, would look good in a vertical format.

Beautiful. Careful about stray pixels, though, near the sun and on the right edge.

I like the light on the flowers, but that red sky kills it for me.

I know there are some dings in this image, but they just can't detract from its magic otherworldliness. 9

A great photo...perfect. I actually feel bad for only giving this a 7..it deserves higher.

The white casues a shimmer effect and the person almost has a ghostly feel.

Wonderful photo.
