Interesting angle. Nice use of foreground and background. Kind of wish the plant wasn't over his right leg though. Thats my only small complaint :)

Kiss

This would be much cooler if there was a little light inbetween them to show the kiss a bit better. I have a bright LCD monitor and this still seems much too dark. I know you were going for a mysterious and dark feel....but honestly, it needs a little more to work. Nice idea and capture though.

This probably is getting about a 5.1 and you're probably wondering why. I could be wrong....I'm just giving it a go though.

I think it feels snapshotty. It looks like while on the hike you just whipped out the cam and, without putting too much thought into it, you snapped the shot, then kept walking. I mean, don't get me wrong, it looks like a pretty area, but to sell the hardass voters, you're going to have to get a little more unique and thoughtfull.

The angle is normal eye height, your subject is dead center of the image (no rule of thirds or strong compositional lines), the lighting is blown out in the background and still a bit dark in the foreground.

I'm not trying to just rip into you, but I figure this pic will get lost in the lower half of the challenge and people often dont spend the time to really critique images they rate. I get so frustrated when I get a low score, and no good feedback.

You may completely disagree with everything I said, but thats just my 2 cents, so take it with a grain of salt. I hope your pic does great and proves me wrong!

Happy shooting,

Chris A

Selective desat is scary, but this isn't too extreme and kind of works. Nice job. When I look at this picture, I can hear him playing.
