I like this. The shallow DOF and long fade add interest. Given that the focal point is near the bottom of the comp I think you could have gotten away with a different aspect ratio that shortened the length of the image (I have to scroll to see the whole image on my laptop).

Focus and clarity is very good and the B/W presentation works well for this subject. B/W range could be a touch darker on the Black end.

Overall, nicely seen and captured! :-)

An interesting Point of view, The focus point of the water drops is nice. I almost wish this was horizontal rather then vertical. I like the leading line that takes me from the focal point off the corner of the photo. A touch more contrast could be used in a few places. And I like the conversion to monochrome.

After trying out for the local dance troupe, Wanda realized that maybe this wasn't the actual casting agent. Suddenly, the idea to try out in the middle of the salt flats and the constant suggestion that it would be better without the clothes hit her. She wasn't going to be in Cats after all.

Awesome landscape, I love her long shadow. The hat shielding the eyes is a cool touch.
