Thank you! That means so, so much. My goal is for my work to mean something to someone.

Hi there, I'm from the critique for critique!
First off, this is a lovely shot, I love the contrast of the ground and sky, I think you captured that aspect really well. As mikaelahjade already said, I think it would have been more effective if the model was sideways on or facing away, but that is simply my opinion I think this photo is very beautiful though, well done!

Hello,

I'm from the critique for critique page.    This is a great picture for many reasons.  The way it's set up now is kind of just alright, but the real reason I LOVE this picture is that it has so much potential.  The title and description don't really do too much for me with this particular photo.  When you are putting a picture up to show to people you have to really think about what you're trying to get across to people.  I'm going to contradict myself here a bit.  I DO like the title and description, but it doesn't fit this picture in my opinion.  Something like "The Lone Wanderer", for example, seems more appropriate than "At The End" simple because you don't know what "At The End" is supposed to mean.  A title should further continue the story of the picture you're portraying.  Now for another suggestion.  I'm not sure what all editing capabilities you have with Photoshop Elements, but something you could do is make the color and tone of this picture really dark and gritty.  In this sense it would almost look like a horror type of picture.  Since she's so far away you could almost picture her being a zombie in that pose with dramatic lighting created with Photoshop.  But like I said, it's just a suggestion that I think would be cool.    I like the picture as is, but I would change your title and description to match it better.  Hope any of that helps. 

- Zach

Thank you for the extensive comment. I'll try to address your points.
As for the darkness, this IS the dark version. I'm very good with Photoshop. The original was very sunny, and the hill was green.
I actually don't know why you don't think the title and caption fit the image. "At the End." Refers to the end of the world or the end of life. She is on the precipice searching for what is next, if anything. But the fear of oblivion keeps her from actually wanting to know.
I was kind of going for subtlety, maybe it could use a little more drama.
Overall I guess I just wasn't clear enough with my message.
Thank you again for the critique. I really do appreciate it.

-Alex.

Hey, I'm here for the Critique for Critique project 
I love the isolation and dark, moody atmospher of this photograph. I think it's so perfect. The only slight issue I have is that I wish the model wasn't turned towards the camera. I would like to see them either walking side on or facing with their back to the photographer. Other than that it's great!
Keep up the good work.

Thank you. I see what you're saying about the subject of the photo. The reason I picked this one is because she actually was turned around (like you said),
but then I yelled some directions at her. She couldn't really hear me because we were so far apart and leaned in towards me to hear better. That's when
I snapped this, and I just liked how natural it looked.
Thank you again.

P.S. I went to your page and saw Christian Siriano in all of his fierceness and just about screamed.
