Comment by Paul:
OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy):

Positives: This is a very bold image! I really, really like it. I think the portrait crop with the sun just off the top works superbly. I think you have made a really brave decision with the exposure and it has paid off in spades.

Critical stuff: Not much, I suppose the cropped wheel is a little distracting but the rest of the image easily carries this deficit.

Overall: A great image, I'm very pleased to have had the opportunity to view it.

Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends... I like it, but it doesn't have really enough "evil" feel. The big sky is good. Maybe even more contrast? Don't know. Good idea, though.

I like the black & white & the reflections. I'm not too sure about the tilted horizon but I don't think it really matters too much. Cropping off the persons head in the foreground I think hurts this composition. You loose the opportunity to possibly show emotion in her face.

Cool shot - I like the high contrast, you could see this hanging on the wall of trendy loft apartment somewhere.

Very cute. I like the use of textures here. It is always fun to pull out old photos and re-edit them.
