 Shot at Koenegsee in Germany the 24th of September. I saw this old couple sitting on the bench watching the sun dissappear behind the mountains of the valley. Didn\'t have any of my gear with me so I just snapped as I was walking by. I noticed the burnt out lake when I reviewed the picture but then the couple was gone and some other people standing around instead. :(
Decided to see how it does anyways.

I would have liked this shot more if the bottom 1/3 had been cropped out and the bottom of the photo stated just above the base of the post on the left. The flat,grey rocky area with the people on the bench actually detracts from a beautiful landscape photo.

certainly a gorgeous location...light is less than ideal though

What a beautiful setting! Composed nicely. The exposure is a bit intense on the water and in the sky.

The scenery is beautiful, but I think that there is too much to look at. IMO, I would have maybe tried a different angle. Distracting elements: the glare on the water, the tree branch at the top of the photo. I like your idea of including the people on the bench, but maybe try shooting from a different point.

I think this would be better with the top cropped off.. I love the couple at the bottom 5

Did they jump in or something afterwards. Why is it thier last? ...nevermind. Nice image, I like the way you used the position of the couple at the bottom. If the tree at the top was going it would have scored higher from me.

In this case, I think fill flash would help immencly. Expose for the sky/reflection area, and fill flash to fill in the foreground. The branch up top is distracting, but not much you can do for that.

Nice photo, I would have liked to see the shadow areas a tiny bit lighter.

last? why the last? because they are old? that would be kinda morbid.
