Thumb-up Thumb-up    from frank983/Joe (13,411) Send mail to this user on March 14, 2008 10:18:25 AM CDT (2)

Hello Jean-Louis. An impressive sunset. Like the use of lots of space around the subject matter (sunset and girl). It works nicely to allow the viewer to enjoy the serenity of the setting that this image was taken. I might have considered darkening the girl to create more of a full silhouette in this shot, but that is a personal opinion. Still, as is, the image is impressive. Thank you for sharing. Joe

Thanks for your time and rating Joe, I will try the silhouette stuff to see what I get.

I love the feeling this picture gives me. It does have room for some improvement and some have been previously addressed. I agree with the crop to reduce some of the dead zone in the sky. Additionally, I find the reflection of the sun too much. I would tone that down some in PS. I would also remove the flying birds, they are small and distracting while the birds on the sand do not bother me so much. I would remove the one near the sun reflection as I find my eye moving there instead of your daughter. Overall a very enjoyable picture to view. Thanks, Pete

Thanks for your time and rating Peter, you are right about the birds in the sky, they look more like stain or dust than birds...

In my opinion, you can improve this photo. First, the sky is just too much, it would be better to crop at least half of the empty area above..Second, the horizon is not level, it will look much better if you fix it..Best wishes..

Hello Kamil, thanks for your time and critique, you are right about the horizon, for the cropping I tried different option and this one was the one I liked most...

I love this, the tones and hues of the colours are really good. The reflection adds a whole lot of interest and the sun has been well handled. Good work. Cheers.
