the colours are great, but the focus seems to be slightly off where it matters

Hello from the Critique Club,

An amazing capture and one in which I would have never guessed how it was achieved in a million years. My favorite aspect of the image is the textured appearance caused by the waves. The clarity of the sky to pick up that much detail in the water must have been a joy to view.

As for your score, I think the comments you received during the challenge sum it up pretty well. Many people were fooled by this shot and thought it was a bit over processed. However, I think your scored suffered more from the weak tie between the challenge topic, the subject, and your title. The image doesn't really convey a bright light and I am having a little difficulty relating your title to "Famous Last Words". With the large number of 4 votes you received, you were lucky to score in the 5's with this image. Luckily there were quite a few voters that appreciated the image on it's own merit to counteract some of 4's you received.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.

Tim

Good photo, good set-up. Good interpretation of the subject. You could make the title more applicable to "life" (the subject of the challenge), but I like it anyway. Good luck
