This is a fine illustration of a postcard type image IMO. You've captured the location that shows it in a flattering way. Good placement of the main subjects within your frame and the hillside diagonal line adds to the composition. Well done. Good luck in the challenge.

Greetings from the Critique Club: I have been assigned your photo to critique and here are my thoughts:

Personal Reaction: I liked this right away when I saw it and wondered how you did it.

Composition: Great composition. Offset subject worked well. The rays on the umbrella are a strong point of focus. Preserving the shadows on your model’s back was a good choice.

Technicals: Met the challenge very well. Focus is very good. How you got your model to stand perfectly still while the umbrella twirled is puzzlement. Nice colors. Good contrast. I can’t find any fault with the technical execution.

Conclusions: I didn’t vote on this but if I had, I would have given this a 6. So my view is it got the score it deserved. It is minimalist but appealing eye candy. Unfortunately it competed against some very strong photos which held the score down in my view.

As always, this is my personal opinion. Feel free to PM me if you’d like further dialog.

I wish I'd thought of it. Fun color. Is it real or is it photoshop.
