Gotta go with Jorge on this. The lighting is top class and it's also totally beautiful. This is definitely not constructive criticism but I just had to tell you how much I like it.

Hey man thanks. I knew it was a good image the second I saw it. At first I thought you would get pinged for the little light that was coming through at the bottom but I don't think anyone even saw it. 19th is AMAZING for a FS. I can think of 436 other people that would LOVE to be in 19th place???

I think the only reason why you got 19th was because there isn't really any action going on here. No real WOW factor ya know. Don't get me wrong it's a PERFECT picture IMO but it's a simple picture. I guess the average of everyone that voted thought that the other 18 images were more interesting. Only real problem is there can only be one 1st in every challenge. Sorry you didn't get it but honestly it's an amazing picture. You should add it to DPC Prints. I think you could sell this one.

I know finishing 19th is pretty good for a free study so I'm not upset about that. I'm just a little frustrated in general that I haven't been able to improvement much in the 23 free studies I've entered so far. I've just been stuck finishing at around the same range each time and haven't really gotten any constructive feedback in the process. Nearly 20% of the voters thought this was a below average shot (i.e. less than 5.5). There's nothing wrong with that. It just tells me there are different opinions out there and would like to hear from them. I check 99.9% of all comments I get as helpful because they are. So don't feel like you have to hold back.

Great work. Nice timing, good sharpness, different compo. A little bit of more brown color seen.
