Wow, i absolutely love this shot, and love the take you had on the group portrait, sorry to see it score so low, i love it, it has amazing tones and killer composition, great job, added to faves
Beautiful shot bringing several elements together well. Can understand peoples concerns during the challenge but it really is beautiful and think you can be proud of it regardless.
Beautiful landscape and it would score with high marks with me if it were in a landscape themed challenge. I really want to vote this high but I'm just not seeing the connection to group portrait... sorry.
First let me say that this is a stunning photo, I love the composition and the b& w is great. I do feel however that this does not fit the challenge discription, but that is just my opinion.
You should of saved this for the freestudy.. a great shot that just doesnt meet the challenge in any way, shape nor form.. gonne mark you down which is a shame on such a nice image.
if you get a chance, read up on the definition of portrait. 3
For me, the entries in "Group Portrait" should be the main focus. With your image, they play very little part. As a landscape, I like your photo, just not for this particular challenge.
I may be wrong, but this looks like a California scene I've seen before. Not Morro Rock, but something mid-coast. Not a portrait, but still a nice picture.
I am truly looking forward to seeing just how well this fares in the challenge.The most prominent items in this image are the rocks and the birds and the people play only a minor role in the image.
This is indeed a beautiful photo, but I fear that you will suffer the wrath of those that earnestly believe that this DNMC, and in this instance I would fall in that category.
While there are more than 3 people in the photo, I'd hardly call it a portrait. I'm quite tired of photos of this beach being shoehorned willy-nilly into challenges.
This is beautiful but to be a portrait, the humans (or pets, etc) need to be the focus. The softness movement, etc is lovely but this is a landscape. If it were in FS I'd give it a 7
An awesome shot, but I'd hardly classify it as a "group portrait" in any form. As a landscape shot, I'd give this an 8. Much lower for this challenge, though.
i wonder if this is in line with the spirit of a "portrait" though technically it matches the challenge description.
I love the shot independently, but cannot score it high because it is entered in this challenge "portrait"
