Meh, this should have been in the top three for sure. The warm tones exude warmth even though the gal is nude.

Woo! Nice one. Love the drops and the ripples.

I love that you didn't capture any of your vehicle in this shot. I feel like you're standing in the middle of the highway, which I hope you're not actually doing!

Her Helping Hands

Is that a white San Marzano? What kind of tomatoes are those?

Great idea overall. The light is also a little off balance (one-sided) for what I would imagine you were trying to do with it. I say this because there seems to be a lot of light on the one arm, but the other arm kind of drifts off into the darkness. This makes the one arm stand out more, hence unbalanced. I may be noticing this more, because your focus missed the tomatoes, and is unfortunately on the wrist. This makes me look more at the wrist than the tomatoes.

I wish this were a tiny bit brighter, but ah hell, favorite. The mood you captured and those cracks speak to me in ways I can't explain.

We resolve to exhibit more self control this year

Phew, I thought for sure that your title was going to be "We resolve to stop licking where we shouldn't."

Creative idea, and well presented. There's some issues that resulted from cloning something out of the background, but I didn't immediately notice them. The more noticeable ones are behind the pup, but there's also some residuals left to the right of your neck. Chairrail molding perhaps? Though, there's a little something extra on the pup's side.

Are they waiting for the ice to melt, so they can safely return to their homes? This image, to me, conveys their dissatisfaction with their predicament very well.

I think what really makes this are the colors at the top of the image. It's like a winter rainbow.

A lovely woman in a classic feeling portrait. Overall it's quite pleasant and the lighting is complimentary.

I have some criticism however. It appears you took the time to not put the aged crackle effect on her face for the most part (or it's just not appearing as strong there), but you left it on her chest. At first I thought it was hair that had been cloned out. As much as it pains me to say it, it looks like she has chest hair that's popping out of her beautiful dress.
