You can see ghosting around the upper lines of the mast poles, and portions at the very top where your wand never made it when you isolated the sky to tweak it.

Degrades an otherwise fine shot.

I like the three pairs of "legs" from left to right and then the surprise of the last one having a body.

I wonder if this is the most flattering angle to shoot this beautiful woman from.

I love the colors... and the quirkiness of the reflections, etc. But... It looks like you smoothed her face and not under her chin. Even if you didn't smooth her face, I'd have cloned a bit of the stuff under her chin... the light accentuates minor flaws, I fear.

Lovely colors.

Comment by posthumous:
there is a Surrealism to this photo that I like... the makeup in the swimming pool, amplified by distorted reflections, the misplaced arm... the saturated color...

You and I have had the same idea but your composition is much better than my composition. 8 for me

Well done but the perspective on the hand/arm is really weird. Perhaps if her arm were by her side?
