As you already said, I'm pretty sure that this picture suffered in the scoring because it missed the theme. However, it still did very well for a photo that did clearly miss the theme, which speaks for the quality of the photo.
Meine Deutch ist sehr schlecht, aber warum sollten wir Englisch die ganze Zeit verwenden? Die Farber sind wunderschoen, und der Himmel ist auch reizend. Ich möchte das Gesicht des Kindes sehen. Er scheint sehr neugierig! Ich mag den Aufbau.
Once again i misunderstood the theme...
Thought those where ambient lights, reflexing on the nature...
Thanks for all the comments...
I found this picture really nice because there is so much happening and i do like the colors alot, Still trying to know how i got the clouds so blue in my camera.
A lovely capture of a child's curiosity. The dark clouds are rather ominous looking but the bright sunlight on the trees and beach really make one feel the quixotic weather.
Great shot all around... dramatic clouds, interesting light effect on the sand, child in the shot gives it the interest. A bit overpunchy on the colors but I like the effect here. One of my ribbon picks 9
I like the colors here very much, the blueness of the sky, the pop of the red shirt and the green fringes of grass to the right. The horizon looks a little off, a slight rotation ccw would make this "feel" a little more natural. I like the capture of the waves and the child as she reaches, it gives the shot a captured moment quality. I'm not seeing multiple light sources, but I thought I'd comment on the photo as a whole.
You had a beautiful sky that day and a lovely child, but this is nothing more than a snapshot..it would be more appealing if the child's face was more visible, if you focussed on the child and not on the bushes behind him/her and the contrast was a little bit less hard...also this picture doesn't meet the challenge at all since there is only one lightsource you used and that was daylight (or I must be overlooking something??)
Aguably, I suppose, each individual cloud provides some reflected light. But then, arguably, each individual molecule of the sun proved another light source. For myself, I would draw the line beyond the point you have chosen. Kind of pretty image, though I would have levelled it, and not placed the horizon so close to mid-frame: especially with a sky so interesting.
"Make the obvious use of multiple light sources a key factor in your composition"
Quoted from the challenge details.
If the sun is your only light source you didn't meet the challenge. If there is something else, you didn't make it obvious enough.
Very cute shot though! 3
