This is a really interesting photo. I'm not sure what to say about it technically, but I like the effect of the blurred falling water in front of your subject. Very nice.

Very nice colors, and effect. To have colors on the central support would be better, imho.

Perspective is all out of whack. More upper centered, to the right, bottom of bldg. showing, etc...good luck in future...

Very nicely captured shot. I love the colors in it. IMO it would have been nice to have the people all in on the right, for a slight better composition. You put a lot of work into this shot and it paid off. Nice work.

Originally posted by kawhona: I like the use of desat here ... nice shot. Does the desat make the highlights brighter ?

Thanks. Actually the background was pretty blown out because the subjects were all in shadows and the buildings in the distance were in full sun, and I bumped the exposure up by at least a couple of stops to expose for the foreground (I rarely shoot in RAW, and almost never on a walkabout). The desat helped because it made the background less noticeable and less distracting.

Still not the greatest shot technically, but I really liked the juxtaposition of the two lonely characters with the bright heart spanning the gap between them.
