Very nice portrait - I like the highlight lighting on her hair.

I'm glad you like it, Brian. Very cool story. I think the score reflects the fuzziness and low contrast, plus the yellow cast. Also, I think photos of other people's art don't generally get people excited.

You might try a different composition and lighting scheme for the current "Something Old" challenge.

Brian, I think this might work better with diffuse lighting instead of straight on. It also might help to have something showing through the door to give it some depth. Did you fingers hit random keys as you entered the title, or were you making a self-reference about letters that didn't fit? :)

Distant Shores

Comment by Retroesque:
I'm sure it's a lovely location and it probably looked spectacular in your eyes, I don't think the camera has done it justice.

The excessive messy sand in the foreground is distracting.

There appears to be some driftwood towards the shore, I think I'd have explored the option of getting closer to that and using it as a diagonal 'anchor' to the sunburst clouds.

too cluttered, too removed. stronger photos bring you in; they don't make you feel like trying to find a way out.

Brian, what a special photo. I think in another challenge, this would have scored much much better. You can tell that it is not processed to look old, but is in fact very very old. Which gives it so much character and meaning. The composition is really good, but mostly it's the subject and the special meaning behind the photo that makes it so appealing to me.

Hold those prayers close to your heart now. . .and you can count on the prayers of your Texas friend to cover you from now on after the things you learned at the doctor today! Being such a strong Christian, I'm taking comfort in the fact that a book of prayer is so important to you :)
