excellent shot... in your defence regarding the blue... it 's sometimes impossible out in the deep like that to not get that saturation... it happens to me everytime.. and unless you know photoshop really well, there isn't a lot you can do about it....
i totally agree with sandy.... way to low... people really need to stop and look and not skim....

Although this photo was strange in itself, it seemed more alive than most. Showing half the face may have improved it some. but basically a unique photo that won't let you ignore it. good job.

very imaginative. The color is a bit strong for my taste, but I came back to this because it stands out. I will bump this one up to a 10

Interesting idea. A couple more ribbons for the legs might be a nice touch...something to try anyway. Nice lighting and pose.

Very interesting idea. The slightly textured bg works well however I think the model might be too close to the bg, the shadows are a little distracting.

Nice focus and dof. Good colors. Nicely done.

This is very well done. The lighting and lines are perfect. Beautiful shot. 10 (I think I know who this is - Of course, I could be wrong, but I have a sneaking suspicion...)
