Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: Great depth of field, and your tones are very true-to-life. I like the blur of the leading rope line, though I would like to see a little more of it in focus. I do like that the main focal plane runs across her face, the knot in the rope, and her hand that she is using to hang onto the rock with.

Lighting: The lighting is nice and even, and you captured this one without losing any of the details in blown highlights or deep shadows.

Composition/Content: As others have already mentioned, you managed to present a very interesting point of view. I think that this is the main strength of your image, but that just wasn't enough to pull a score much higher than where this one landed. Her smile is wonderful, and I can feel the good times that all seem to be having. I would like to see this one with a wider crop, though that was probably not possible shooting with that 70-200.

My Opinion: I like the image and I think that it scored pretty close to its potential. Well-seen and nicely captured.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

This picture meets the challenge perfectly. Her laugh creates a very happy feeling when you look at the picture for the first time.

Excellent point of view and choice of DOF. This would do well in stock photography...
