Great use of slow shutter speed to capture the movement in the clouds. Also I like the muted pastel colors. I think the subject is not illuminated enough. My eye is drawn right past the well to the bright spot in the sky on the left.

OMG! That looks frightening. I would hate to be in a boat drifting toward that thing. Wondering where the heck this is and WHAT it is.
Good shot.

Very nice composition. For me a bit too blurry on the right side of the picture

Black and white with only the glowing metal in red would make this very interesting, I think

Well, that'll teach you to take my advice instead of Bear's. Higher than mine ended up, but not by much.

Originally posted by Art Roflmao: Well I gave it a 10, but since you mentioned she was your EX girlfriend, I'm deducting 4 points - show me a pic of your new girlfriend and I might give them back. :P (kidding, I gave it a 6) If you want a real critique from me, here it is: Obviously I was not put off by the gratuitous skinnage - the lighting is excellent, but there is something off-putting about the angle or perspective. Also, a shallower dof or more distance from that bkg might have improved it. As for the challenge topic - I would guess more voters saw this as just a gratuitous shoehorn-ish entry. That's my take on it, FWIW. Don't let these results eat at ya - there is nothing you can do about it and you KNOW many have tried. :)

it doesnt bother me really just dont want dpc to become sterile conservative and safe like its heading, i like edgy and out there

trust me this was not a shoe horn but the first thing that came ino my head would have violated the non naughty bits rule, and she was up for it, shes a bonny lass ;)

just prefer people to say : vote: 1 : I" dont like to see women in underwear" or this is to suggestive etc but ppl dont which is a shame,

overall captures the spirit of the challenge but as i'm sure you've heard that shadow on the right is distracting...
