Excellent Desat. Too Bad it was just a basic challenge because the composition was excellent.

I like the effect you used on the shot. How much saturation did you throw on the colors or is this a natural effect out of focus on the leaves etc.

I would have liked the composition better if the tree didn't look like it was being pooped by the bear.

A little out of focus, and I might have focused on the Bee.

Please take this as constructive criticism because God knows I've turned in a few poor shots in my day (and will probably turn in more), but I don't know what you expected with this shot. The fit of the "costume" on the model is poor. The lighting is also poor, from the blown out sky to the shadows on the subject herself. The composition follows no known artistic rules I can point to (no rule of thirds--unless we count her eyes, which are not gold and hence should not be the subject)) The trees appear to be growing out of her boady in some areas and then are totally blurred in others. Perhaps a shallow DOF would have helped a bit. Keep shooting, keep submitting, and the best of luck.

Absolutely gorgeous. Ended up exactly where it was supposed to be. It just reaches out and grabs me.

Love the theme and picture, wish it had a bit more contrast, and less sky blow out.

Vignette is a little heavy for me on this shot. I don't think the ropes leading up would have hurt it.
