Iceland seems to suit you, ribbonwise. I think this one was an underachiever in terms of score. Excellent shot, Paul.

BEAUTIFUL shot.
I'm not usually a fan of landscape shots. But... there's something different about this photo.
I really like the softness. As well as the bright colors in the sky on the left side.
The horizon looks a little odd... and I know that it's a hilly area, so it's how the land is laid... but did you try straighten the photo at all? I'm not sure if that would help out thought?
The only other critique is that that snow covered mountain top on the right of the photo seems to disappear into the sky... perhaps a little burn or spot editing to that area?
I guess if viewers are looking quickly and voting without taking the time to study the photograph, they would miss it... so not sure it would make that much of a difference to the average voter? Just a thought, however. :)

Overall, I really like this image.
Right now, I'm giving it a 7. :)

She wasn't naked in the car. ;-) Just had her shoes off.

The unusual setting and contorted position add much interest to the photo. She has a beautiful body.

I really have to visit Iceland one of these days. Very nice find, and perfect composition. I hope you enjoyed your time there despite the cold!

Comment by SaraR:
A quite extraordinary iamge, and very effective. I do wonder how it would look if the curves of Raphaella's body followed the shape of the crevice, with her breasts arched and filling the space a little to the left of her current position (although I suspect it would be pretty uncomfortable, and not something to try in the bitter cold!)
