Too much highlighting on body for silhouette. Grey background to left looks ugly and artificial

The lighting on her back is very nice. The merger with her left arm and chin is unfortunate. I'd like to see a different colored background - perhaps blue toned?

Glad to still see you contributing. Of course when you have nudity, the picture will get hammered by some, but in addition to the ladies, the scenery of some of your pictures are wonderful (ie: this one and the Cuban skies one).

I love this picture! The Blue sky, the off centered hill, and the model, great job picking a red head for this one. Any other hair color would of not looked as good. She really does look like a mirage, from heaven! Congrates!

Comment by DrJOnes:
Thank you all for the nice comments. Once again, I find myself in 4th position. Ahhhhhhhh, the irony! ;-)

I salute the top 3 winners! Congrats!

Kosmik: your joke/observation is hilarious! By a feather... or two! Man, that one cracks me up!!!!!!!!

To answer some questions:
- I called the shot Mirage because it was photographed at Dry Lake Mirage.
- Yeah, multiple 1's and 2's suck, but I have learned on DPC that the low votes are innevitable as soon as your shot contains any type of nudity. That is the cost to pay to enter such an image in a challenge. Doesn't mean I don't find it frustrating though.
- Ursula: pount taken. The dust should go.

Tahnks again all! Keep shooting!
See ya.

Mirage. From a guys point of view, I guess :))))
Congratulations!

Will I be a total idiot if I point out one little, tiny nitpick that bothers me a bit in this picture? The bigger of the two dust-devils (or dust from cars driving?) in the distance, right behind her and to the left, I wish it were not there.

I love the colours in the picture.

I can't believe that anyone could give this a 1, 2, or 3. Or anything less than 5 for that matter. It's an outrage!! It was one of my two 9 votes. Congrats on your 4th place....it should have been first IMHO.
