I think the view and idea is great, but the picture itself seems too cluttered with objects so the legs dont appear to be the main focus.

Nice photo. Better if edited out the right hand foot.

Great shot of my poor husband. This time he got lucky and didn't lay down on an ant hill.

Neat. The first time I saw this, it took me a little while to focus on the sword, as I was immersed in the graffiti and colors. It was kind of an interesting moment as my eyes began to adjust, following the unknown dark shape to the right, then making sense of the girl, then back down along the... (moment of realization)... blade!

She becomes one with art. I'm not sure you need the sword, but...

Just a thought but her hands are lost with the gloves on it may have been more artistic with the hands bare and expressive on the sword. 6

I am so frustrated by this image. The wall is sensational. Incredible detail, colors, and visually very interesting. The model, however...

I can't help but look at this through my director eyes. As the main subject, her pose is awkward, but worse, uninhabited. There is no energy flowing out of her, either towards the camera, into the sword, anywhere. There is simply no intention. While we can't help it if a model lacks talent, as photographers there are things we can do to make it appear like they do. And why choose such an excellent backdrop if there is no interaction with it? It's like two images in one, and neither is supporting the other.

Also, I think the low vantage point is not the best choice here. It requires that you include a healthy portion of the rather uninteresting ground. And from a story pov, it doesn't inform the image. On the other hand, if this had been taken from a higher pov looking slightly downward, it might have created a David and Goliath dynamic, and the wall would have had a purpose for being there.

Take all this with a grain of sand. Or salt. :-)

Great perspective. Took me a sec to see the sword, then it got even better.
