Nice use of backlighting. I think the focus is ever-so-slightly off though. The shell seems a little soft while the grains of sand in front of it are in better focus. 7

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Shadowfax...

Sidenote: I'm listening to "Folksongs for a Nuclear Village" as I write this critique :)

This is a nice photo and I like most of what I see. The horizon tilt is not a good thing in this photo though. Also, as far as challenges are concerned, your score probalby suffered because your 'framing' element is not the primary impact of this photograph. It's a smaller secondary 'supportive' element. This particular image may have also made a stronger vertical shot as well....

Nice idea; Could use some noise reduction though, and most of all, a level horizon!

This pose looks a little too awkward...

Nice silhouette. Crooked horizon, no framing.

Comment by joebok:
Neat pose - I'd be tempted to crop a bit tighter and level out the horizon.

Oh yes I see, the arm and body frame the sun.
