It looks really cool... my only object would be as to the choice of color for the duotone. What would be better? I dunno... but this color just isn't working for me. The duotone application (in spite of the color) was done really well. Kudos.

A reflector would help out a lot in this situation. Or a good strong flash if you have one. (it's hard to compete against the sun) I do like the sun's highlights in her hair, it's just that the rest of her went a little too dark.

Okay, I just gotta know.... Did you just "happen upon this shot" or did you set it up???

Doesn't it seem like the car in the back (on the right) is in better focus and has better lighting than the main subject?

Vanity begins young

Feels like either too much Neat Image (how could a young girl's soft/smooth skin need NI anyway?) or maybe the camera wasn't in focus. Her eyes look like they may have been sharp, so maybe it's just very shallow DOF. But her nose, mouth, chin, cheeks all feel "strangly blurred" and the mole actually looks like motion blur which I don't understand because it looks like you had a lot of light.

Anyway, my point is... if this is the result of post processing, then I'm willing to bet that the original is much more compelling than this. Young kids don't need much post processing to look beautiful. :-)

I think they oughta break down the average score by male/female. I'd love to know the ratio on this shot. What the heck, I'm voting it high. :-)

My pick for the blue. This image has a lot going for it. The beautiful silloutte with a perfectly focused outline, the sun, while bright, is not over exposed (big kudos there!), the clouds and waves playing nice, a beautiful reflection with their feet interrupting the reflection just enough to make it real, composition feels "just right" to me. I'd give you a 10+ if I could. Good luck!
