Comment by BJokerud:
First of all I don't like the toning here. The balance in shadows and high lights seems a bit random. I would've darkened that rocky surface in the right corner and brightened the reflections on the left side to match those under the brdge. The background for me takes to much focus, so I would've darkened it or shot it with a lower depth of field.

But don't get me wrong here because I do like this photo alot! The scene itself is beautifull and I wish I'd been there to capture it myself. The things I would do differently is not the correct way. Your way is the correct way, and we learn from experiences and the feedback we choose to listen to as we go along. 8 from me

I'm not sure I like the processing of this. I can't put my finger on it, but something just doesn't look right.

No vote. I don't vote on challenges that I enter.

Details: Use the surrounding space of your subject to create the wow of the photograph.

Middlign.. Meets the challenge reasonably well, and the space is interesting, but there's not much wow for me... The posterization bugs me pretty badly...

The downward cast eyes support the tolerance of bleakness of these weary souls, moments of concentration can reveal thus. Nice contrast helps to make her pop out in the scene.
