I like the action, and sense of joy in the photo. Goes with the challenge very well, although in a different way than I was originally thinking. The idea was great, but the photo could use a more interesting composition. The subject is too centered (rule of thirds). There are also some details lost in the black suit, the areas in shadow have no details. But, if you exposed for the suit you would've blown out the background, so in that scene there wasn't much you could do. Overall I like the photo, keep up the good work.
On 3rd glance, I still like this frivolous "letting go" image. Thanks for a happy entry. Either you got it on the 1st "take" or your model was in good physical condition and in good humor. Nicely done. 7
This is what first popped into my head when I heard "Letting Go" I like this shot quite a bit. It gives a great feeling of Glee! My only suggestion is to have maybe cropped it a little closer to the main subject. But overall, very nice!
great job capturing a feeling of exhuberence. I like the shot from the back of the subject and the leading lines of the path. I think there is a lot of background clutter overpowering the subject, though.
I love it! I have been somewhat biased towards the more optimistic pictures because of the shortage of them! I hope that the majority of voters understands how this is letting go. They sure don't understand mine!
Good luck!!! 9
