Interesting shot. The gradient from dark to the light pink sky is pleasing. If only the horizon was level!

OK you all deserve an explanation about what happened to this shot..

This shot was edited on a laptop due to me being away from home, I thought it was great and looked wonderful on THAT monitor, I was satisfied. After returning home and seeing it on my MAC I was HORRIFIED!! and I tried to repair it by the deadline and missed it due to the time difference.

Yeh i could of pulled the image out i guess but I didn't.

Thank you for all the comments they all helped (apart from 1 or 2 but its all good).

I think I blew the chance of a ribbon here but learned a valuable lesson.

Very nice picture, but too much paint filter.

this is a beautiful portrait by, in my opinion, way over processed. If you were going for a digital art look, then I think it is OK, but it is past the bounds of a photograph. That said, I love her expression and the lighting.

Oh wow! I only hate you because you have created a photo that trancends anything i can say. Beautiful model and everything, exposure, lighting, etc. are perfect. She shows a true sense of peace and happiness. Thanks for sharing this with the rest of us! A 10.
