The road to Thingvellir
by Gauti

Comment:
couple things I would have done. compose so the road is coming into the frame in the bottom left corner and going through the frame more. Also, the horizon is tilted a bit and should be moved on to the 1/3 line. Other than that, the focus, color, and subject are all good. Good luck.

Very nicely done! The high-key effect with the contrast of the shackles work well. It looks like there is a slight sepia tint which I really like. I would love to see an explanation of the setup and editing process you used.

No, you did the mature thing and passed because you didn't care for the
subject.

I find it funny that some people are so closed minded that they can't vote fairly on an image because it shows a little skin. This was an exremely tasteful shot, that was executed perfectly.

We should do this more often. Ericlimon: you can get that maid outfit for your g/f (or for yourself if you wish, lol!) at //www.innersanctum.uk.com . To all who gave this shot a rating bellow average (4 and under), I invite you to purchase a flash light and a set of batteries in order to find your way out of the deep ass hole you are currently lost in. Thank you. Woah..come on now, that's harsh. Nobody here said anything nasty about you if they didn't like your work. Without sounding too after-school-special, not everyone has to love your genre and you don't have to love theirs. Because it isn't my taste I would just not vote on it. Should *I* being digging up some batteries? Thanks, Lori P.S. I'd skip voting on it because my personal views shouldn't effect the scores of your technically-great work.

Hi Kirsty -

This image definately met the challenge and is a very nice action shot. I like the way the compostion goes diagonal across the frame. I agree with Rasai that it would have been much better had the person been above the horizon. The way it is now, they kind of blend into the water.

If you could have got a nice crisp focus and cleaned up the noise, it would have improved this greatly.

Good luck on your future entries. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Regards,
Chris

I like the B&W and pose, however, I would have liked him centered just a bit more. Crop needs to come over to the right just a tad to even it out.
