TUBORGComment by ambaker: Critique Club Review:
This is an outstanding photo. Probably the only thing that kept you from winning a ribbon is the image didn't meet the challenge. Some would argue that, challenge criteria shouldn't be a factor. Fact of life is that it is in many voters minds. However, that being said I still would not base my total vote on challenge criteria.
The lighting, color, contrast, saturation, hue, exposure, focus, depth of field, heck.... everything about this image is done extremely well.
About the only thing in this image I find distracting it the objects in the air to the left of the woman. They seem a bit oversharpened, appears to be a halo from processing around them. Minor, but there.
One last thing, is that the grass gives away the fact that it is not windy after all. It takes a while to notice, but then there is that "Aha!" moment.
Still an excellent image. One I could see hanging on my wall, and should have been a ribbon winner elsewhere. I didn't vote in this challenge. If I had it would have been a 9. 10 -1 for not meeting challenge.
