| I love this. The two characters performing their actions as if on cue. A tremendous capture. The almost-silhouetting just emphasizes the story. The background is faded into light, so provides only an interesting composition of shapes with strong diagonals, and no distractions. A really wonderful photo. |

This doesn̢۪t offend me at all. I appreciate your time and effort trying to make my picture look better and thank you for that.
Now I should tell you that this shot is pure candid, so I didn̢۪t have too many choices. I played with image quite a bit before submitting it. I tried different crops as well. Finally I submitted the one with two people for two reasons:
1) It tells the story.
2) From my experience with DPC I know that very thin photos don̢۪t score very well on challenges.

Very nice; I think this would look great cropped down; the guy just doesn't mesh with the rest of the picture (as already stated). Hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of playing with this, for less than 1 minute actually; just cropped both sides to center.

| Very lively and playful, as though the sun is energizing her spirit...but he looks a bit out of place with that premise. Really like how you got the great highlighting and appropriate detail in the sides opposite the sun. Well done! |

| It's the postures of the subjects that makes this image effective for me - they make the image "say" much more - it's not simply a snapshot of two people. |

| great interaction between the two! well cropped, like that you included the full shadows. the glaring light emphasizes the difference between the two body shapes and styles. overall a bit too pale, you should have pushed the contrast some - 8 |
