Slightly over sharpened (notice the obvious edge along the gutter), but I do like the texture of the tree branches.

you've really captured the texture of the knitted sweater nicely. The shadows on and cast by the strand on the rhs look great. Really good photo if you ask me. Conceptually, the perfect skin of a female abdomen compels me to unravel faster! For me, this doesn't reflect the current situation, however.

Now, if I can only get George Michael's "freedom" out of my head"....

Great POV, those trees look scarey.

What did you do to her belly button...???? Excellent concept, beautifully done, although seriously, way too much smoothing on her belly.

I think it would have been better if you cropped the right side of the photo out. I like the converging lines of the trees and lighthouse into space.

This photo gets the lighthouse part, but I think a human subject walking to the lighthouse would've fulfilled the "To the" part of the title.

Superb metaphor. The belly is a bit too flawless and other things about it remind me of a movie poster, but it's right on target and one of my favorites. Well done.
