I love the crop, but I think the border needs to be thinner. It takes away from the picture

Good subject, but the image is just not capturing me and saying "Wow". I think it is the long distance between the man and the actual kite. Overall not a bad image though - 5

Interesting composition! The reflection of the kite mirroring it on the sand makes this image. Would have rated it a little higher if it had not been for the black border and the light. It looks a little harsh overall. Some adjustments in editing software could easily better this.

Nice picture. Good capture of a great activity.

The shape of this image works well, as the visual hight appears much higher...

excellent choice of crop. Could use a little stronger coloring, but I like the shadows on the sand.

Like the minimalism, neat shadow capture

I like how you included the shadow in the photo too, that's a nice touch. I feel like everything is a bit close to the edge of the frame though...

I like the shadows of the kites in the lower corner...it's a nice touch and the reflection of the water and disappearing horizon is great. However, I'm not a fan of the shape of the picture itself. Perhaps if you had taken the bit off the top so that it would be like a mirror image would make the awkward shape more "worth it".
