You can't get much older than that! I like the image but a wider angle or fisheye would have rocked but probably nothing you could do about.

Can a photo placed this high still be underrated? Congrats.

I like this one better of the two sunset photos. The power lines is a nice touch that leads your eyes through the image.

I like the sharpening you did here. The texture in the bark really pops, IMO but like what stdavidson said if this was a challenge entry you probably would get hammered for the sharpening. I know I have.

The composition is the best part about this. I also like the high key aspect. I think I would remove the ribbon-like vertical line in the lower left corner that looks like it's poking her face.

Edited: I meant that small horizontal line in the lower left.

Interesting and unique image. I like the colors, composition, contrast and the focus is good. The white may be too extreme for many but it makes the image stand out. Also, it seems her arm is a bit soft along the edges where as the other parts of her like her face and shoulder is more sharp. Not sure if that was because of some post editing work or not but I'd try and get that all fairly sharp to be consistent and also because the areas where it is sharp helps produce good contrast.
