This is absolutely beautiful. Great choice to use the sepia tones and I don't care what anyone else says about the framing, it makes the shot! IMHO, of course. Well done. Good luck.

Nice photo that I'm sure will be with top 10 photos this week. I'm not sure about this color but still I give you 9

I really love the composition. It's simple, yet very rich in detail.

At first I didn't think this fit the opposites challenge, but I kept it up on my screen for a while and now I appreciate it much more. The lines of the figure's body, the position of the arms and contrasted with the boughs of the tree and the framing with the background of the water is very nice. The horizon looks just slightly off a little rotation would fix that.

Love the textures... the tree, the water, the ground in front. Then the enormity of it all compared to the child. Great picture!

There's just something about this image - this is about the 4th time I have come back to make comments. It's captivating and very well done. The pose of the model is precious. It shows "big" and "small" very well. You have reduced the effect of the terrible sky by placing the trees in optimum positions. I'm not fond of the border, but try not to let that influence my voting.

I guess my only reason for not giving it a 10 is very subjective - and something I can't explain. It doesn't really have a "wow" impact on me - but it's darn close.

WOW!!! You definitely should have entered this one. I would have given it a 9 or possibly even a 10. Mostly because I am a sucker to lighthouses, but I LOVE the crispness of this shot and how the composition centers around the lighthouse. I love how the other elements, such as the people, really enhance to the shot and compliment the lighthouse. Very nicely done!
