The lighting doesn't feel quite right... interesting idea though!

You obviously put a lot of effort into the shot, unless you were blue for some other reason. The exposure, focus, and composition are all good. I'm not in love with the concept. Good job overall.

interesting lighting with the flash from afar. unfortunately, i don't feel drawn to your characters. perhaps i've been hanging around this site too long, but i wish i could see the water.

There are several things I like about this photo. The strong lines - both horizontal and vertical - create an interesting composition. I like the placement of the women in the frame, and especially the look on the face of the one with the umbrella (distant though she is). I'm curious about the lighting, though, it looks like it might have been done with on-camera flash...? The whiteness of the fence does detract just a bit. 7

Critique Club.

Composition - What can you really say about a photograph that is a ribbon winner obviously it has all the technical know how. The one major thing I can say about this photograph is I am not sure if it needs to be leveled as far as the horizon line. I did see your comment about the bent horizon line caused by the lens. I do however think keeping the bent equal on both sides would have appealed to me. Give me a break I dont know how to critique a ribbon winner.

Technical - You managed to capture what you saw and the colors and the landscape all look spot on. I can't image even trying to capture a good image is pitch darkness or what minimal light there may have been.

Post Processing - I cant image that with a landscape there is much in the need of post processing. Night time shots generally I've noticed need to have dodging done since alot of the highlights tend to show as yellow.

Overall - This is a wonderful photograph and congratulations on your Yellow Ribbon. Keep up the good work.
