Is this an IR photo? It's hard to see drought. The foreground could be water or mud just as well as dessication.

Nice and very arsty. The bottom circles are less flattering than the not more subtle top ones. Still this is a striking image. Gets a 7 in the first go around.

I like the drama and the contrast. It appears that some detail is lost in the white areas?

Nice use of tones. Only the top left corners seems a bit too dark.

I'm wondering if this wouldn't work better with some muted coloring.

Nice composition and tones. There's some banding in the sky but not a huge deal.

I like it. In my opinion, there's not too much technically wrong, because contrast and light is excellent, and the composition complements your form well, plus the environment is interesting. As far as your posture goes, maybe too much leg/knee - it may be what the viewer is confronted with on first view, but your face is perfectly positioned as the most important element I think, and you've got a great expression on your face. For a full body shot, I think your foot is required. :)

Fill the frame dude. Your mug is way more interesting than the rocks - as nice as they are. Leave in the foot, or crop the lower body much more severely in the interest of showing more face. Your left hand looks awkward the way it's hanging there too. Put something in your hand to give it a reason to be there. A flower, a rock-hammer, a lens cap, whatever.
