Well, I don't know why I think this is Judi but I do. Whomever, it's perfect and nothing but a 10.

Wow. There is so much right with this image, too long to list. Might be easier to point out a couple of flaws. Except there aren't any! Leading lines, both bold and subtle, guide the eye effortlessly. She is luminous, both in her own lighting, and perfectly backlit where necessary. The tones are perfect, and you have managed to make brown water beautiful. I think the formal photographic terminology here is "Now, that's just showing off!"

question: what is the vertical thing she appears to be holding? I want to say it is a riding crop, but that would be a tad kinky, right? Not that there is anything wrong with that :-)

On a blue lake this would have been a world class shot.

This picture looks as if the girl is very strong and powerful because the waves are crashing, the sky just looks crazy, and the leaves are blowing on the tree.

That Moment Alone

I would have liked it more if the girl was looking at the boy's face as he was looking away. To me, that would be the difference between 99th place and a top 3.

Still a great picture!

ETA: I didnt vote in this challenge.
