Very nice scene including the pier fence. Though it is more of a supporting element in the photo and not a feature element in my opinion, it does meet the challenge. You have done very well with the post processing capturing the texture in the boardwalk and the gloominess of the clouds as well as the color of the people present. It does lack interest due to the straight ahead, standing at normal height point of view. No real composition went into the making of the photo in my opinion thus prompting me to award an average score.

I think if this were centered, it would have scored higher in this particular challenge. Everything else is spot on!

I have four votes of 10...this one included. However, I may vote the others down a bit because this one stand out !

I keep coming back to this and wish I could go higher than a 10. This is a problem I usually have ! I vote 3 or 4 photos at 10 and then have to decide which one is BETTER than the others. Once I decide, the only thing I can do is lower the others down to 8 or 9. This one will stay at 10.

Her face is perfect. The intense look is perfect. The arms and hands are perfect. The fact that you set this outdoors instead of in a studio adds to the photo !

Very nice.

***Ok...this is my only 10. I have several 9s but this one is so different that it got the extra point***
