My pool..

We'll start with the model, who has what I see as a 50's sort of pose. And the mostly muted colors feel retro. But ... the Aquabot has more color than anything else in the scene. Not really sure what I think of that, since it's neither retro nor the most interesting thing in the image. Also (and I know this may be picky to notice) the hose looks pretty well in focus as does the fence to its left, but the fence on the right is totally blurred out and the building isn't sharp where I expect it to be to match the hose. My eye keeps trying to make sense of the DOF and not being able to. Maybe a Lensbaby kind of thing but I don't remember noticing that disparity before.

The shadows would be so much more intriguing to me if I couldn't see that statue at all. It's still interesting, mind you.

Not a huge fan of statue pictures, and in this case the background is overwhelming my eye. B&W might work better, and a softening of the background. IMO.

Sad ballerina :-(. Nicely lit.

I like the dramatic lighting, but I find myself wishing the model had an outfit that suited the mood of the lighting better.

It looks like it's exploding. Possibly a cloud of spores, or an optical illusion ;-). But it reminds me of a magician's cauldron, which is rather entertaining.

That is a great shot of one! I love that I can see a catchlight in the eye and that you got so much detail in the wings. Love those bugs :-)
