I took this picture on the same day that I took my second place picture "Three." I have a feeling this will get hammered by voters for being too similar to the other picture...but I really like this one also. I'm submitting this as more of an experiment than anything else...i.e. can people look beyond the similarities and just it for what it's worth???? I doubt it...I'll be lucky to break 6.0.
Ok, it's not too hard to guess whose picture this is, given your recent ribbon win, but this one is remarkable, and even better than the ribbon winner. So we might see two of yours up there on the big board tonight? Good luck! Second visit and a bump!
hmm, don't know why a validation request would be made on this one??? A really nice silhouette shot. Very nice. Very emotive too and nice rich tones. Compositionally solid. Good job :-)
November 20th, by any chance? I don't see the point of putting this into this challenge with that other shot sitting on the front page all week. Whilst may people (obviously, from that previous challenge result) find this stuff attractive, I find it cloyingly sentimental. It has a contrived adge that, for me, simplifies the idea (and ideal) of relationships, and is actually, I beloieve, damaging, in that it encourages people to think that this kind of dreamy sunset gush is an attainable reality; its like people with flawless 'perfect' bodies having sex without producing any sticky mess - just like the worst kind of movies.
Chafer? Framing is the same so I guess it must be. I like this better thatn "three"! Wish the gull was just a smidge further right, but those union gulls don't always hit there mark when they're supposed to. Great hues of browns and gold. Lovely.
This is great photo and scored it appropriately. However, you've had a number of variations posted on the site and in challenges which may cause some to unfairly score you down. Excellent photo and hope I'm wrong about the scoring.
Visually and techincally this is a very good capture. The hues of golds and oranges project warmth. The two subjects stand hand in hand observing the warm glow of the sunset. An added boon to the visual interest is the addition of the capture of a seagull flying above the surf.
Very nice! Love the romantic feel, very emotive. Nice composition, rule of thirds and all that jazz. Colors are amazing, really fond of the shadows they cast, myself. Definite 10 material!
One of my all time favorite photos and I am sure another one similar has already recently won a challenge. Super, super, golden moment and it take the number one spot for me.
