What more can these guys want? A pretty girl with a terrific smile and a waterfall.

Aren't you glad you don't take photographs for photographers?

I think the shot is great! i was actually drawn more to her bright shoes than her bag... but i only notices those because i was searching for something to "catch my eyes"

Nice job

Thank you, we have a tough crowd sometimes, but they offered suggestions which I do not mind. Its the people who say negative things without any pointers to make it better

I think it's a groovy shot. Ya' did good. I wouldn't worry about any changes, but if I were to take it again, i'd try to open up the aperture to get a smaller depth of field. That way, she's in lovely sharp focus and the background is a little blurred...just a touch.

I might crop out some of the forground rock as well. Or move the comp so there's more waterfall background that's just slightly blurred. She'll pop loverly.

Great shot. You should be please with it.

I think I'd crop it a bit to lose some of the dead space on either side. Other than that, it's nice.

I think it is a great shot, cat. These goldurn 'photographers' are often nitpicky, IMHO. I prefer the more natural shots, such as yours.


Life is hard...but I just take it one photograph at a time.
