I love almost everything about this shot. The only thing which bothers a little me is the bright spot in the left upper corner. If it was dark as well and only the water and mist were glowing, it would've been perfect for me.

I like this much more than the entry, Valera. I think her eyes are just too blue :). B/W is more fitting to her pose, light, and expression. Crop in this one is better also, IMO. Classic portrait, congrats!

great concept, and a pretty good execution. Love the composition, and the right hand is magnetizing. A couple of things take away from the image: the background is too visibly painted in, and the line between the leg and the left hand is a bit oversharpened. Since it is right in the focal point of the composition, it jumps out on a viewer. But overall - great work, congrats!

nice texture and light... I'm sure you did the tilted horizon on purpose, I'm just not sure I quite like it, but would have to see the straight version to make the call :)

Amazing capture! Love the water drops on the teeth, and your perspective is unique. Maybe you are not THAT crazy to put your head to the viewfinder, but still pretty crazy to hold the camera with your own hands one foot from this mouth. Congrats on getting away with it, and with a well deserved ribbon to boot!
