Pacific Sunset

Comment by aboutimage:
I'd make a couple recommendations for this photo: the red is interesting, but too much. If it's natural, it's freaky. If it's desat with a red overlay, it's overdone. Not a big fan of the tilted horizon.

Stunning reflection! Really nice job with that. The lighting is a little harsh on the "live" bear and surroundings though - I think you could soften it a little in PS. Wish I could see more detail, but I guess then I'd lose the beautiful reflection... :-/

Still a very nice shot and a unique one in this challenge. It doesn't really look like a zoo to me, but I take off no points off for that - I like the natural looking environment. :-) Good job.

Boy, I know that feeling. I'd like to see just a little more adjust so the childs face would be more visible. It's still a great photo in this challenge. 9

A sharper focus would have improved this image. So far this is one of my favorite images of the challenge.

There is too much difference between max light and dark on the photo. It is n ot a very sharp picture. The composition is well done, but the rest needs some work. Nice try.
