No one said you had to make the postcard for your hometown...lol!
Yup...this is me! Just another Aussie mermaid visiting afar!

Almost perfect. It's over sharpened (halos around the rocks and mermaid), it jumps out at you. However, when printed you wouldn't be able to tell, so I won't mark it down for that. The overall impact of this image is stellar and would be a sure fire favorite at a tourist shop. The drop shadow font is perfect and handled very well - very precise and purposeful. Overall color and tone plus the dramatic sky make this an outstanding entry.
To me, everything is perfect about this shot. I can see the efforts went on setting this up. The dreamy effect, the colors, the IR, the composition, the framing and the text style - everything is super good. This should ribbon IMO.
