Stunning. Beautiful lady, beautiful environment, great light, and the sepia adds a timelessness that I like.

One tiny nit. I think you could have dried her cheek and forehead a bit. It looks like it might have been hot that day.

Holy sharpness. I love the feel of this. Sydney is beautiful, but there is something very magical about the overall feel of this. I think it may have something to do with the lovely eyes, but this whole shot just grabbed me.

Great shot. I love the contrast and the bright razor sharp hairs on the stem. Isn't nature beautiful. :-)

This is one of my favorites and while sort of cleaning my profile, I took some time to ponder this photo. When I first saw the image, I wondered: how did you get permission to do a nude photo shoot in the botanical gardens. With all the processing that goes on with images, I think I was led astray. Is the model a statue? It makes little difference to me as the serene quality brings me peace and it will always be a favorite, but I am curious.

WoW. What a difference, from a really quite nice nature shot to a fantasy. I really like the bokeh in the original shot which I believe gave you the canvas on which to paint the rest of your work.

I like the idea of the fairy, but I think it would be better if you actually got an image of a fairy to put there. I have taken photos of small fairy statues in garden shops. I think she would be more interesting with a bit more form/detail. I really like that she is floating on a bubble.

Very nicely done.

You were robbed on this shot. I still think it deserves the 9 I gave it.

Great. Picture postcard perfect. I wish I were there.

I just looked at this image again and found that I may have underscored it. I only gave it a 9. In my second viewing the fact the model is a cute freckled faced girl captured me. The juxtaposition of the innocence connoted by the freckles and the dripping sultriness of the rest of the image really pushes this over the top for me.

Day 05

Very interesting transformation. The orginal shot has the feel of: "I found it... the gift of water; life can continue" albeit with a little soap in it. The second picture has, for me, the feel of: "oil, polution, death and disease..." All in all, the second image is very powerful.

I don't know what you had in mind, but I think the transformation is remarkable.

Oh my... the high contrast B&W really works wonderfully for this picture. The whole thing is really wonderful. Ever think about putting this image up for sale? In my not so humble opinion, it would be hot!
