I never EVER give one's. You would be shocked if you saw where the red line was. Just because I didnt agree didnt mean I gave it a 1. If you msg me I will screen cap and show you what score I gave you.

You are so wrong. The entire image except for the mermaid was taken at the same time looking in the same direction. There are 3 images in there...all at different exposures but all from the same spot on the sand and the same time frame. The water splashing was as it shows....not swapped from another side.

The mermaid shot was taken on a rock 5 meters to the left of this one but facing the land. So she was between the land and myself on a rock that is about 6 foot tall. That rock was completely underwater in the splashing shot. but the lighting was the same for all images.

Maybe I don't know how to use PS. But at least I try. You get upset over someone giving you a one...well I think you need to explain to the public why you felt that my image was so poorly done that it only deserved a one.

I personally would like to challenge you to a showdown of the same technique and conditions. Put your money where your mouth is.

IMHO this set would be better all in focus. Longer exposure at a smaller F stop.

That's a pretty coloured background and the depth of field makes the image stand out in more ways than one. 8.

Wow one of the only images that I can tell the use of expert editing, and it looks great too.

I find this photo wonderfully dramatic and beautifully composed. Originally, I gave this photo a 9 and will not change that score, but returned to comment because I think the post processing is astounding.
