Excellent. Love the darkness this photo presents both in theme and tonality. Good composition, and very original. Hope it scores well.

Comment by Haakon:
This is a really cool shot. I appreciate that you took the time not only to find a wonderful location, but to set up a subject as well. The composition is great and the subject is clear. The post work on the color is also nice, but the vinetting is a little obvious and overwhelming. While I do like the effect and agree that it's appropriate for the image, it's a bit apparent where it starts and stops and feels like a layer just hovering over the photo rather than an active part of the photo itself. You may want to look into different ways of achieving that look, or perhaps just lower the intensity somewhat. That being said, the picture is very nice overall and I think you'll do well in the competition.

Cool tree. Not sure what the person is doing there? Looks like a lovely place to visit. Did you adjust some color hues in this? The sky looks unnatural, like grey instead of blue. Good luck in the challenge.

I can only imagine Peru as being a location for this photo. But who am I to say. The person adds a lot to the image. 9.
