I'm so disappointed this didn't do better! I really loved this picture, the light, the texture of the floor, the position of the subject, the warm color and the mixture of silhouette and clear seat... everything was wonderful! I rated it 9, and I think a lot of pictures that were rated higher are not even comparable to this one... you did a very good job, good luck for the next challenges!

Would be nicer without the orange cast. Changing the white balance would help fix this, and also give a richer blue sky.

is this the complete picture? i think it could be cropped differently... it's hard to say how... though. maybe if the bench was a little lower? nice gold tones, 7
