I love the complimenting colors and how they're layered. I wish I could see more of what she were doing. I associate that position with cell phone texting, heh.

I think the photo as a whole is just a tad over-sharpened. I'd imagine you were trying to get the subject sharper, but with the limitations of Basic, you couldn't just single her out. The smaller rocks along the shore look a bit busy and pixelated with the sharpening. It might also be caused by the compression to JPG.

The centered composition certainly works for this photo.

I like the perspective and the DOF. Color is nice also.

Very complex lines with some strong saturation. I'm actually enjoying that! I like the two toned feel with a nice sugject to break it up. It works well IMO. nice job.

A nice sense of scale.

Great colours. I think the choice of subject is better suited to a more traditional off-centre composition.

It looks like you've gone a bit crazy on the USM and perhaps shadow/highlight - there's all sorts of haloing around the subject. That said, the sharpness in admirable and the centered composition is beautiful.
