message  Dear Christian,
Thank for your latest submission to the UWP contest smile

You've requested a critique of your photo. Well, I usually use a fixed structure while writing critiques but will make an exception for your photo since there is almost nothing to critizise ;-)

You have submitted a work of extra-ordinary quality - regarding technique, composition & subject. This is how these kind of shots should be done and considering the amount of votes incl. the award of getting "shortlisted", I see that the UWP community shares my point of view.

The only very small detail I would like to mention is : This great photo would look even better without the rock in the bottom right.

Everything else is just fine. Congrats to you !

Keep on the good work - Looking forward to your next submissions smile

All the best,

Rico

Head of UWP Photo Critics

message Thank you both for your feedback! smile

Rico, the stone is not a stone. It´s the rear part of the liberty wreck... wink

Best regards
