Comment by Fayech:
lovely sky. image could use adj in levels/curves to strengthen the blacks (which would, in turn bring out the sky even more).

Nice scene, good lighting, but I think it needs to have levels adjusted. Seems not to have any real black, or subjectively speaking, appears very low contrast. I understand you are trying to show POV here, but I am not sure the aesthetics are good for the placement of the bench. I would guess a wider view, including the whole bench, might have been a bit better compositionally.

It's a nice sunset, but adding the bench seems to make the shot better. Good use of point of view, this is what I believe this challenge was suppose to be about. It could maybe use a little more contrast.

The composition is good, also the "point of view" aspect. The whole photo is however flat and unsaturated. The blacks aren't black enough and the reds and yellows need more contrast.

Love the composition except for the distracting tree reflections in the glasses. They may have been part of the point but I guess I'd rather see your eyes. :)

Very cool shot, the blue glasses really give interest to this one. Perfect exposure.

Looking through the thumbnail gallery, this shot captured my attention. I like the lighting and the close-up and the thoughtful look of your expression. I wish you had been able to reduce a little more of the glare on your glasses so we could see your eyes better.

I think a portrait should reveal some character, or emotion of the model, by showing expression in eyes or other facial features. Did your picture accomplish that? Yes.

artistic/creativity? good composition.

Technical? Very good detail/texture on the skin.

Overall? Nice

Great touch leaving the color in your glasses. My only complaint is the amount of relfection in your glasses... I wish I could see your eyes clearly. Good work.
