Very dramatic. It looks like someplace I wouldn't want to be. The waves really add a wild mood to the shot.
It looks as if you got some compression artifacts. It's most obvious in the sky. Try saving the original as a tiff and editing that, then convert back to jpeg before you submit it to the challenge. I apologize if you didn't get the artifacts from editing the picture as a jpeg.

I can see this on a artistic magazine. Good job matching the picture to the magazine. High key effect is nicely done, but I wish there was a little more contrast, or perhaps one strong dark point.

Vibrant colors and a pleasant picture to look at. The leading lines are going to the right which is a good thing.

The hoop is just a tad too dark, otherwise a good exposure and I like how the wind is moving the net. A lower pov might have been used to get rid of the trees altogether. I don't read sports mags, but this picture might have been more exciting with people in the frame.

Soothing colors and a pretty picture. I don't know about the magazine you are matching it with. This picture doesn't give me a feeling to any particular place. The light(?) on the left breaks the mood of the photo.

Beautiful picture. You might have considered mirroring it so he was facing into the magazine. As he is, he's facing the spine of the mag, not that it makes any difference on my score.

The tones in the complection were retained even with such a strong background. It looks like a happy portrait. The backlight is a little too strong for me to rate this outstandingly. I think it was a good choice to use one, as it can really bring out the texture of her hair.

The composition is fresh and different.
