Fields of gold

Great shot. I love the flow of this photo, and the blond hair against the golden field and warm sunlight.

I feel like the face could have used a little bit of fill. It seems slightly dark. Since for this challenge, you cannot use selective adjustments, it would have helped to perhaps use a reflector, to bounce a bit of light back into her face, or a tiny bit of fill flash (preferably off camera)

I like the high contrast of this image. Composition is ok and subject is ok. Lighting is off. But overall I think this image stands out from many of the others in the challenge. So this get a solid 6 for standing out and making me really take notice of it.

Great perspective. Nice starburst effect and blue sky. I like his serious expression. Just a tiny bit of lens flare on right side and to the left of his head. STill a very nice photo. :) 8

I like the different perspective and the flares. Good work and should finish well.

This is a very nice shot, and I feel the fill flash has been used very well to prevent the boy from not exposing at all against the harsh sunlight in the background.

Also love the angle here. It's just a shame you picked up a little lens flare, though that seems unavoidable given the angle of the sun! 7 from me.

Excellent framing of the shot, and appropriate use of fill flash!

Great depth of field control, but when using the sun as a backlight, I feel that the subject should be much brighter, maybe taking it from a different angle.
