Originally posted by shair: The cut-outs don't make sense in this image. It appears to be lit from the top, but the "people" are black as if it is lit from the front. There are no shadows behind them (to the bottom of the image) in the sand, so the cut-outs just look like miniature paper dolls instead of actual people.

yes, that's a great explanation of why I like this photo.

The focus seems a little soft on the lemon slice and for an image like this I wish it were sharp.

I am not sure what the red is on the lemon...a bit distracting. This idea has some potential, but the execution isn't so good. I would have liked the whole image in sharp focus. The bottom of the glass and the lemons seem soft. The black looks wonky as well. Not being critical, just helpful. When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was a winner...it lacks the punch it needs... 6

good silhouettes and a great backdrop.

Comment by EOSail:
Your people look like paper cutouts and their outlines are oddly-shaped, particularly the smaller girl's hands and feet. It looks like your people weren't back-lit to begin with, but you individually selected them and darkened them down to turn them black. It's impossible to turn something that wasn't already back-lit into a silhouette without making it look artificial because there's no reason for them to be so dark.

I think the processing has not favored this image.

I'd like to see it without.
