I don't know whay this photo was rated so low by so many people. It follows the rule of thirds, contains amazing color and evokes a lot of emotion. I just joined, but I would have rated it a ten.
I thought this was a very good entry. i gave it an '8' and expected it to be up in the top 20. Now that I see your age I am amazed at the professional artistic abilities that you have for such a young person. Very Good!! Don't get discouraged, you have fantastic potential and will someday be in high demand. Congratulations!!
