this is ok, i guess, but all the stuff washed up on the beach kinda takes away from it. i mean, yes, i know, that stuff is really there, but what are you trying to do with the image? it has the makings of a postcard (even if it is a little flat), but it's just not that appealing, at least to me. buy hey, that's just my opinion. as long as you love it, that's what matters.

Nice, bright shot. It would work well in a PR brochure for the city. Good composition and lighting.

Good title, funny expression, but I wish he were more singled out in the sense of being in a crowd.

Nice mountains and clouds. Further away from sign would probably be better and still fit the challenge.

Hi! Here’s a comment from the Critique Club.

First Impression: Nice color, lots of colorâ€Â¦too much color. Eyes are drawn to the green ring and then orange, red and blue.

Composition: Given the vivid colors, the image is a little busy. Two rings with a center may have been more effective. In this case less may have been better.

Subject: Think you met the challenge, definitely a burst of color!

Technical: Very good colors, very vivid. Nice lighting. Excellent focus. Sharp detail. Material kisses are sitting on has some distracting colors. Outside the blue ring, there is a blue tone. As you go inside the blue ring it goes much whiter, and material texture is more prominent. Texture is due to DOF, not sure why there was a color shift.

Suggestions: As this was a “studio shot” Try with fewer rings. See if there is more impact, or take a wider shot. Don’t crop so close

Summary: Nice picture, lots of color with sharp detail.

Beautiful landscape, and I like the cliche you used for the title.
