A bit much on the negative space. I would rather use the DPC real estate to see the detail of the scene... The gulls are a bit of a distraction too.

Nice shot though I don't understand your use of selective desat in this context... Great soft focus.

Fix the perspective and this would be perfect! The bowing of the trees is a tad bit distracting...

WOW... You gotta show us some outtakes that didn't work so we can see the setup or make up a tutorial! This is truly too cool!

Nude Study - Torso

I love the lighting on this shot. It really brings out the form and gives depth. But the posing and overall composition are lacking in originality...

This is the third shot today that has made me stop and stare. Do I like it? I don't know. I will have to look at this for some time to come to that conclusion. Does it move me? Make me think? Captivate me at some level that I don't understand? Yes. For this I thank you. That is the essence of what I want photography to be. Not perfect but moving...

'the cat'

I almost clicked on a six as soon as I saw this shot, but I had to stop and look at it some more. This is one of those shots that makes you stop and look again. And again. And again. The first thing I saw was the kittie. Then the hands caressing the kittie. Then I saw the whole scene. The story behind the scene. The emotion involved in the making of the shot.

There are so many things 'wrong' with this. It's soft focus where one would normally expect things to be sharp. It's very busy. There is confusing motion blur. It's blown out in many areas. But the emotional impact of the shot when you actually SEE the shot is incredible. I'm glad I didn't just click and move on like I'm afraid many will. You have captured an incredible moment that will never be the same again. I hope this does well here but am afraid that it won't. If it moves one other individual the way it moved me it won't matter what it scores here. You will have scored more than any cyber ribbon could ever be worth.
Kudos
