Nice shot, works well with the plants in the foreground. I find the pink barn a bit distracting tho!

Comment by Tranquil:
This is a place with potential. I think that you have made the most of your conditions there, but try returning when there is a dark and moody sky, just after a storm with clouds and such. This will add much more impact. In this shot, the sky is bland and boring and it takes up literally 1/4 of the photo, so in that regards, 1/4 of the photo is losing its interest due to the uneventfulness of the sky. Sorry to roast, but my other criticism is that the barns have been overly dodged. But don't be disheartened! Get back out there, brave the conditions, and shoot again!

Brilliant work on an excellent photograph.

While the blowout area on the forehead adds to the shot, I think it is a little bit too big. If you accomplished this in post-processing, could you back off the levels a bit to give a touch more area of detail there?

Again, well-done. One of the best photos I've seen here recently.

Amazing shot! By far the best of this series!!!
It's a combination of madness and heat and control.
The red tones work wonderful here and so do the soft focus.
Simply wonderful!!!

The kind of photo I would expect to find in the rock magazines.
Focused and contrasted well.
I would burn that little hot spot on the right side, behind the player though. It's a bit distracting.
Great work!

Very few women look good in blue tones. She looks great IMO!
I don't like the high contrast of the background. I would like the blues to blend softer into the white BG but other then thatI really like this one. And especially I like the stripe of light on her belly.

Comment by SnapperL:
She is wonderfully gorgeous. I agree that perhaps the lips could be desaturated just a tad. It somewhat draws away from the rest of the photo.
