There's a pretty straightforward SP. No gimmicks, just photography.
Although I'm all for "experimental" photography, straightforward works for me as well. You did a great job on this, minus minor nitpicks that can be addressed in PP.
One question: was your teeth clenched? Your expression give me the impression that it was.

Hi Margie!

Nice work here! I'll echo what others have said about the reflected light, that's really an inventive and yet totally commonplace use of a single light source. Heh! I might have tried to shoot this a more of a side angle so it looked more candid - it's easier to sneak up on people from the side than straight on, so a slightly sideways shot might have looked more.. natural? believable? Not sure of the word I'm searching for. Congrats on finishing in your own top four!

Nice use of the path as a leading line.

Hello from �lex, CTP MkII

First Impression: Very clever shot.
Composition: OK, but maybe is too space up the subjects and subject is too centered, but not sure
Subject: very appropiate for the challenge. I think is original that the single light source is on the hands of the subject and the reflection is what lighten the scene.
Technical: very good IMO, very natural colors, good focus and lighting.
Improvement: maybe the composition, as told. I'm not sure, but you could have tried to crop leavin more black space on the left and so centered off the subject.
Summary: Intelligent idea and good realization, congrats on your third highest score

Your composition is nice, makes me wonder were we are walking to. It also give a good contrast to all the greens along the forest floor.
