Without a doubt this was the best picture in the challenge. I can see how it got hurt by the literal interpretation of the rules. But still I expected it to make it to the top ten. Don't get discouraged by narrow minded voters.
Oops. A misinterpretation of the rules. This is still a very interesting photo with nice composition, texture, and detail. I always prefer when the subject is not looking at the camera. It tends to emphasize the fact that there is a camera and another person involved. I much prefer the subject looking away at something. This creatres curiousity and wonder about what the subject is looking at or thinking about. Good job.
Really nice portrait, great colors, great lighting, nice details, only problem: you\'re looking UP at her, and you\'re supposed to be taking the photo looking DOWN according to the rules of the challenge, so I\'m not sure if you\'re going to get a passing mark. . .
this has emoition to but what are u waitin' for? the strom that seems to be brewin'? someone who means somethin'? or maybe to see something in the water?
Very nice image. Good use of value in the patterns in the sky and on the ground. This picture is very moving because of the different effects used. Good job.
Wow that's a VERY GOOD shot. But it doesn't convey "from above". Although I guess it could in a spiritual way. I'll give the benefit of the doubt here. :) Love this picture. 8.
This is a beautiful shot, but i'm not sure that the 'from above' theme is very strong.. the dark clouds really make this shot work well for me :) - setzler
Very, very nice photo! Challenge - not met, you are looking up. Focus seems strongest on the steps, I think it kinder to the lady to focus on her (like the steps are more important than she is?) I love the sky, very dramatic! Color seems very good. 5 Swash
Wheeeeeeeie. I very much love this shot. Super composition, light, color and feeling.....wow. This is sooooooooooooo good. Look at that moody sky. Heathcliff!
