Would have worked better in vertical or portrait orientation.

Did you have problems aligning the diver with the board? Symmetry would have given an extra punch

Deserved a higher position, although I don't like BW pictures

It is a traffic light in a broken pole, to a degree it seems lying on the garden. I found interesting how a traffic light could work in such conditions and look as if nothing.

Good Idea, good composition, but bad technique. There are a lot of elements that distract, the text in the T-Shirt, the orange clip, etc that really weaken the importance of a decision to be taken

Hello. I am writing in awe of how beautiful your model is. Let me explain it this way: For me she is rather inexpressive in the picture, emotionless, but at the same time I perceive faint fright and disdain, she looks like a fragile ice statue. I really take my hat off for a photographer who can capture so little emotion as brilliantly as to allow it to shine intensely... perhaps that attitude of superiority and vulnerability she portrays is what makes me think your model is so beautiful. Compelled to take a closer look to your picture I saw the aesthetic of Japanese comics, in particular its simplicity, and a question stroke me: How would the composition have been if you used the trick of rotating the picture a bit as they do in Japanese comics?
Anyway, thank you for sharing with us this great photo.

I agree, at the time I voted you with a 9, I knew something was wrong with the picture, but couldn't find out. Now I know, sorry pal, but my opinion is that this is an otherwise magnificent picture that happens to have an unfitting traffic sign which made it fit the challenge

Should have been much higher in the challenge, a shame on voters it didn't

Spectacular picture, I feel sad to give it 9 because I see the rightmost part to be superfluous and because IMO the tree centered in the frame would be more powerful
