Nice editing. Not allowing the subject and foreground to be a simple silhouette by giving it some light makes your photograph strong.
Post actions
Dramatic image, dramatic angle. Nice processing.

I like the composition, colors and PP on this one.
Post actions
There's something badass about this but natural as well. Horizon seems a bit off to me.
Post actions
Great composition. The effect is prefect for this piece.
Post actions
great taken despite the fact that the silhoutte is underexposed (i wouldnt mind if the whole figure would be black though)

You broke the rules by having the horizon tilted a bit. The image is still strong.

The silhouette of the tree and the silhouette of the man work well together, visually.
Post actions
Nice silhouette, horizon really is wonky isn't it?

Voted earlier coming back to leave comments. This is my leaning tree, I come here when I need time and space to think...to feel...to think of which direction I need to take. It's trunk has always got my back. I come here and it's rough bark is strong and gives me support when I need a comfort zone. My leaning tree rests nearby the waters. An ideal place for the waters reflect the skies moods as I too reflect upon things and feelings. The gentle sound of the water lapping is a gentle soothing sound that helps to calm jangled nerves. This is my secret place, my leaning tree. This is what story unfolds when I look upon your composition. The colors and silhouettes as well as the presence of the two main subject paints a mood and feel for the photo.

I like the darkness of the photo and the blues. Wondering why you did not straighten the horizon.

Very nice image. It's good to see a few "great" images. This is a perfect reflection of your abilities as a photographer.

I think that the figure should have had as much detail/light on the top half as shows in the lower half, seems a bit disjointed this way. jmo

great composition. you have a good eye.

I like the composition and the almost silhouetted model and tree.
Post actions
Very dramatic silhouette effect!
Post actions
nice wide angle perspective but would have liked either a bit more light on the subject or a bit less, great location and photo either way.
Post actions
Wonderful composition and colors! With the detail still showing in the pants, but not in the face, the pants seem to draw my attention. I would have burned the highlights in them to make this score more highly.
Post actions
Beatuiful reflections and sky. I wish the silhouette were sharper.
Post actions
I really like your processing here. Although it looks a little unnatural, I think it really works for this shot.
Post actions
Nice composition and contrasts, although all the water seems to go to the left.
Post actions
Interesting angle, and great sky behind.
Post actions
I really like this, maybe a touch lighter with your subject, but hay only you know what you like..

Excellent shot, the POV and post processing are great!
Post actions
he water came out perfect in this shot!
Post actions
I don't see 'alone' here, but I do like the picture. I also like the very subtle details in the shadow areas.
Post actions
Super composition. I like the semi-sillouete look.
Post actions
Very nice composition. The post processing makes the subject look like a statue.
Post actions
Really like the composition and the fact that it is more of a silhouette type of shot.

I like the wide angle on this and the position of the guy.

Beautiful image in a gorgeous location - lovely entry for this challenge.

I like that you can see some of the pants and shoes and makes me wish there was a little more texture or viewability in the upper part of the body. Good colors in the water and sky and nice cropping.
Post actions

I cant decide if the colors are just that good or if this is waaayyy overprocessed.
Post actions
Nice silhouette. Love the light on the water.
Post actions
wicked angle! wicked composition!
Post actions
HDR? his pants and the tree have a real robot look to them (actually animation)
Post actions
Use of lighting makes this shot. Well done
Post actions

love the processing and curves in this
Post actions
interesting perspective and nice exposure
Post actions
Wow for a moment I thought this was a sculpture. Very striking shot

Post actions
nice shot, but the man and the tree is a little over processed. should have left them as silhouettes
Post actions
Very coll shot giving it an 8
Post actions
Not too keen on the vignette effect and I'd like the horizon to either be level or more wonky (if that makes sense) but I like the silhouette and the detail on the water.
Post actions
Love the back lighting w/ the great back drop.
Post actions
need a bit of light on the face
Post actions
Very nice editing. Makes it not so typical. 8

person blends too much with tree and background. a POV more to the right had brought out the silhouette much better. teh darkened edgses don't seem to add to the image. horizon is tilted, but that's minor.
Post actions
Nice scene. The pose looks a little strange to me, like he's part of the tree. I like the vignette and the water reflections.
