beautiful girl but the pose is wrong.. her legs have disappeared so if you crop the top out that might help but in all seriousness I would re pose her... try this too last thing you do before you depress the shutter button is to run your eye round the periphery of the viewfinder, this has two effects 1 You see the odd things about the shot.. ie trees poking into peoples heads and stuff like that and second you detach from the centre of interest the thing you are hot to photograph and simply see an image as the camera sees it. I cropped it according to my taste in order to tidy it up, but it would be better cropped in camera so you dont lose image size and so on.. hope you dont mind

OK Plain english I see this as a cruddy old toilet block washbasin, no frills no clever cute piece of plumbing just serviceability that is all.. the colour of the light IS depressing.. the sad lonely and cold or cool feeling it imparts because of the colour of the light, is bang on for the mood you are trying or should I say have portrayed the bloke who commented and did a rework hadn’t felt what you felt when you saw the scene and more than likely smelled the overpowering disinfectant smell that stays in your clothes after you have been to the loo.. all these things add up.. I guess further he hasn’t looked at your portfolio as your work is depressing.. you seem to be attracted to the downtrodden the forgotten the empty loneliness that pervades your surroundings.. it is a brave photographer who will persist with this view .. take Grant Mudford, for years he persistently photographed the mundane and boring aspects of architecture in particular... now.. he is the justified master of the art.. and people hire him BECAUSE of his singular view of the world.. keep it real keep it happening stick to your guns You Rock Shel.. Love Roj

Great idea and nice light and use of it Amanda..just wonder if it had been vertical (portrait) might it have had a bit more clout. But it is a lovely pool of light there in that picnic area for sure.. you were lucky to get it without any cars there. Did you see any Lyre birds while u were there? there's usually heaps running round under those pines
