    Re: couple

    Awesome silhouettes,

    good composition

    there is a wee bit of lens flare on the rock where the couple is seating

    and yes the horizon is tilted

    Very nice photo, Phil. A beautiful and tranquil scene in itself, but the silhouette of the couple brings it up to another level
    Well done.

    Re: couple

    First I agree with Gary the scene is wonderful.
    BUT now,
    I could use a little more help on this c/c.
    Old Clicker are you seeing the "crooked" horizon as being "out of level"?

    After reading this I really tried to see what you see.
    As I kept looking it did seem the light on the right was higher than the dark left side.

    Just for the heck of it I put the photo into my Cad program and drew two lines , one is "dead on level" the other I started on the left and moved to the right and put that line "dead on the horizon".
    That shows that the "light right" side is lower than the dark left side.

    Then checked the angle and it is .2 degrees. (point 2 that is)
    With that fine of eyesight you would be a great builder.
    Just with I could see that fine of detail.

    Critique any picture; any where; any time.

    oh it was messed up before ... and I immediately fixed it after 2 comments about the horizon...so when you first saw it, it was fixed more or less.

    Thank you, for the info.

    Now, I have thought of a question.

    Do you know the couple? Do they have a print?

    My opinion, it would be a cherished possession.

    Nice shot. I will say that I couldnt see the couple right away, but it made me pay better attention to it

    Congrats on the sticky. The 'tilted horizon' comments had me confused at first too...
