Thanks for your comments. There is a lot for you to learn from this imageâ€Â¦narrow depth of field, asymmetrical composition, natural lighting, white balance, selective focus, eye catch glint, dynamic range, control of shadow and highlight detailsâ€Â¦ to name a few. However, if you feel this is just too boring, you must live in a different world than mine. I can't help you. I can't help the "66 votes below the average". It is what it is. There is nothing new under the sun. Cynicism and hypocrisy about good photography is what is wrong with DPC.

This shot is just beautiful. I like the color and how the light strikes the upper part of the mountain. Well done.

In-focus, good faces and well processed. A good candid, would make a good newspaper filler shot.
