Damn, I wish it wasn't tilted slightly to the right.

I bet you are getting clobbered for it being a domesticated animal.

But not from me. My only problems with it is the large amount of negative space is throwing the composition off-balance. I would have been nice to see the eyes a bit lighter as well.

Naughty, naughty! ;)

The composition is good, and tells a story so well -- but the lighting is too flat binding the image without the contrast to hit the sweet spot.

Awaken Your Senses

The effect works well, but there is (imo) too much lost to the darkness -- her left hand comes from nowhere, the flower is floating, etc. I'm thinking that if you moved slightly to your left the leg would have provided a much stronger diagonal than it does and the balance between light and dark would have been made more equal. As it is, the negative space on the right (her left) is not being used by the model and is not adding to the image.

Needs greater separation from the black background. Catching the blur of a strummed string might have helped as well.

The smoothness of the mirror and the symbolism of getting in touch with yourself make this work well -- but it would have been better without the watch and band.

Stopping the motion of the water makes it look like ice -- I don't think that is quite the sensation you were wanting to convey. But it is a sensation. :)

Nicely captured textues. Although the focus being on the back pedals draws my attention into the scene quite well, it draws it to the distractingly busy background.

The colors and detail are great.

The focus, DOF and clarity are great, but the composition is a bit right-sided. Maintaining the wing in the frame on the left produced negative space that make it appear to be moving out of the scene. More negative space on the right would have helped I think.
