Much better, thanks.

I love the detail especially the eyes.

That must have been an amazing place to visit, but please straighten the horizon, will hold my vote.

I think CrystleClear means the size of your photo. I personally think this is a fantastic shot, looks great in hi-res!

Hope you were using a big zoom.

author if you size the image down by at least 200 pixels both height and length, it can help with the clarity of your photo,otherwise great capture!

Great job of cutting out the pieces, but for me, the uniform lack of saturation (except for the birds which are curiously flying away from whatever is happening here) results in just 'blah' with no real focal point. It's a struggle to make out the hands. Relative to the tree, the balloon seems too small and the birds seem too big.

nice brush usage

love the angle

seems plain....

I realise that, but there is nothing in the rules for this contest that says that everything that is blue must be blue.

Showing the blue reflections on the handrails is not wrong, but I would have left them out.

seems a little flat to me

very sweet mood

beautiful shot author...gl

Super cool shot author...GL

nice

nice piece author...best of luck

What a pretty one...GL author

Great concept. There is a white outline edge on the umbrella, and the top of the dog shows lighting that is inconsistent with the image (perhaps Image>Adjustments>Selective Color>whites would help adjust that), but otherwise is it a good chop.

Very good idea.

Does she cook and do laundry and bring in a 6 figure income? LOL

Cool shooting author........... love it.

She looks so pretty and seems to be very happy.

lol this is adorable, cute dress too!

Great looking lady. Love her smile!

cool work...gl

Espetacular! Parabens.

very very nice capture...gl author

This looks like a photo that was in a photoshop contest. pretty.

very nice piece...gl author

cool shot author...gl

Yeah i agree with that! well imma guy so not really the biggest about shoes either! but great shot

I think they're cute! But it's cause I see them all the time and they make such BEAUTIFUL shoes... hehehehe j/k I hate shoes.

Image is nice, but perhaps a bit too bright. Good luck!

I like this image; it's sharp (enough), nice different textures and not too bright or dark. Good luck!

Then he/she should have cropped it to just show the pond. Can still be done.

I don't think the horizon is big of a deal, cause you may want to just want to use the bridge, or the grass in the distance. Personally though the bridge is a little too simple for me to use as a stock. But that's just me.

I think the author meant for the pond as the stock photo, which is nice.

The one thing that bothers me here is the horizon. The whole picture needs to be tilted to the right but it's such a pretty scene

Not really a subject-object to use for the PS contests

Could be a good PS source, a more close up would be nice

They do look yummy, but I think it would have been more effective if you cropped closer.

Nice smile, what's she doing?

looks totally unreal (that's a compliment)

Fabulous!

oooooo, that does look good.

Thats what I thought too! Great job!

Nice work, when I first saw it I thought it was a couple of computer screens.

These look wonderful! What is it?
