Rageby ZoomdakComment by ecdillon: Interesting, nice unconventional portrait. The red on his face seems too strong and blotchy. Nice effect with the water. Maybe this would have worked well in black adn white? |

Rageby ZoomdakComment by Elaine: This does not look like a studio portrait to me. I especially don't like that both of his eyes are covered by the water. |

Rageby ZoomdakComment by KiwiShotz: The water being sharp and him not just doesn't really work i don't think. Greta water effect but needy as a portrait |

Serendipityby ZoomdakComment by Louis: Greetings from the Critique Club!
On first view, this photograph took my breath away. In my opinion, this is truly a spectacular land/seascape. Composition is spot-on, the bench expertly reflecting lines in the near and far horizons. The counter-lines offered by the incoming surf supply a lovely balance. The slender plants coming off the edge of the greenery and extending into the view of the water are a perfect border, separating the two complementing views in this image with subtlety. For me, the orientation of the bench offers an excellent invitation to study the rest of the picture, as it draws the eye gently into the drama of the background. I think there is a certain balance achieved with the dark elements in the centre left of the image, that break up in an interesting way as they make their way across the image to the right.
The clouds may have benefitted from subtle, restrained burning with a large soft brush to enhance the drama. I'm loath to suggest this, though, since I really like this image as-is.
A real feast for the eyes. Thanks!
