 I swore I'd never submit anything with a Nikon, but I accidentally got this shot last Sunday at the lake and I decided I liked it too much to keep it to myself.

Some brightness/contrast adjusting to tone down the white of the woman's shirt, some minor color leveling to bring out more blue, and a teensy bit of rotating to get a straight horizon.

Nice approach to theme and visually appealing. Body posture is also interesting for theme.

Beautiful sunset, and the silhouetted figure says loneliness and waiting as clearly as words.

I really dislike this border, which makes the photo hard to focus on, and takes away from the overall image.

Great photo, but, it looks more like thinking deeply than waiting. Sky is perfect and the border works.
