Wow! My first ribbon. Thanks everyone for the great comments.
This was shot at Iona Beach in Vancouver. I had about a 30min drive to get there. As I was driving, I noticed that the closer I got to the beach, the more the clouds were closing off the sky. I figured I would never get there in time to get any descent light but after picking up my model (Thanks Mikaila) and driving really fast, I found I had just enough time.
I really like the setting with the mountains in the back, the reeds in the foreground, and the contrasting bright sky/dark clouds.
I did not vote on this challenge but this would have been my pick for the blue. Perfect setup, direction and photo execution. Congratulations on the ribbon!!!
I really like this. The colors are so passionate, so powerful, the silhouettes look great, so dark. It's a great moment to capture, even if it's staged, wonderful pp, would love to see an original and learn your pp steps.
You were out shooting sunsets and this couple happened to show up? One of the best photos I've seen in this challenge! Good luck with your average score
what a perfect day...this looks like a sincere shot...hope she said yes!! just a little over processed in the orange tones...but other wise a really nice shot...
Nice colors. Nice silhouettes. I think if it were cropped closer on the left side it would have helped. That much free space kind of leads the eye in that direction since it's the brightest colors in the picture.
This is nearly perfect (don't like theme being repeated in title - this photo would have stood up fine without it). Great setting, the silhouette is right on the mark, and the tall grass is a bonus. Well done! 9
