Comment by tvsometime:
Composition OK but not much else. Flat lighting effects and near monochrome is very unnatural. Flash shadow is unattractive.

I think this is beautiful and sad all at once.

Comment by bobonacus:
I don't know if it's the processing but the statue looks odd. I would have also put the statue on the right so the face would be looking into the photo and not out of it.

Comment by sonyalphausr:
Is this a monument or a picture........personally I don't like pictures of stuff like this because its not "original", but you did use backlighting.

A beautiful, candid portrait. Great lens work, natural lighting, processing...

This looks too flat to me. A reflector camera right may have helped.

I'd be interested to know what your technique is for the vignetting. I think though I would have toned that don a slight bit, but again, just nitpicking because your work is simply wonderful.

Oooo, I have been wanting to do one of these shots really badly. I like how you darkened the sides and corners to bring focus to the milky smooth water fall. Love it.

Really neat shot. I love bird shots (and if you have been tracing my recent comemnts you'll find that I'm a sucker for a lot of things and haven't mentioned that bird shots are another along with sunsets, lighthouses, etc).

I like the composition, the DOF, the clarity, the colors and contrast. Maybe the only thing would be to get a little tighter crop, but that's only nitpicking a well done shot.
