I guess most people will not notice. However, I do, because you have the same problem I have: keeping the horizon level. It's made me a wizard with the Photoshop measure and rotate tools :-)
I like how this is not JUST a photo of a sun rise. There is the "welcoming of the day" aspect by placing the person in the photo. what are the little orange and green colored dots next to the person's left leg? some kind of sun reflection glitch? I like how the tree just kind of falls into the picture on the left, and the reflection onto the water of the sun is perfect. Excelent eye. Good luck in the challenge.
WOW! What an *awesome* shot! I love it. I recommend you get the book, "Sell and Resell Your Photos" (4th ed) by Rohn Engh. You will make some photoeditor very, very happy (as well as put cash in your pocket). You'll be paid to have fun! I give you a 10! I'm rooting for you to win!
I don't like to see the name of the challenge (new) used in the title... too cliche or something. There are lots of other, more creative ways to express it. Like the picture lots though... I thought sunrises were a bit over done in this challenge, but yours stands out from the rest. If you got that effect without using filters on a Photoshop type program... GOOD for you... I', interested in knowing how you did it.
Nice idea. Did you try photographing this from a lower angle to fill the scene a bit more with the figure in silouette? Still, very emotive and done well.
I think this shot captures newness much more than all the other new this or new that submissions I have seen. A new day is so much more than a new this or a new that. The darkness gives a daring pre-dawn feel few photographers would dare to capture.
This is a great shot.. The reflection on the lens (i'm assuming thats what it is) is a bit distracting. I don't know if I would have taken the shot with the person or not... but the person's pose does work nicely enough. Good job, 7
The concept it´s really positive, like receiving the new day with optimism and happines, this is the message I got. The sun looks really nice, good shot!
Cool! Because it's a little dark at the bottom of the frame, some of the silhouette isn't as clearly defined as I'd like. I wonder what it would have been like shot from a lower vantage point? I know the silhouette would then have been larger within the whole frame, which might be what you were trying to avoid. It does feel like a celebration of dawn. 6, Kavey
beautiful, nicely framed, and good lighting i think. The only distracting thing is the light reflections bottom center, but that is minor. Would make a beautiful print, i think, with or without the person. karmat
