It's really great to be able to comment on one of your photos, you have a very unique style of photo that escapes from the trendy DPC-friendly world, it's very interesting to see your shots!
Regarding this photo:
Composition
The above water tummy and leg really balance the whole photo.
I probably would like to see another hand on the other side just to give a more comfortable feeling. The nail does not distract me, it adds a human touch.
Lighting / Technique
I was really hoping for some shadow, just to get a more perspective of dimension, it could really help to have some shadows on the right places, it would "un-flatten" a bit the shot (the tummy seems a bit at the same level as the water, and not so much rising out of it).
I like the grain in this, gives it a vintage look.
Processing
Great tones on the skin, and the blue is very soothing for this picture. Great deep contrast and colour.
Overall
A 7.5 score from commentators really means that your photo had an impact on an emotional as well as visual level.
All the best for you both (three in this case) :-)
If you have any questions feel free to
contact me.
Regards,
Joao
