What can I say..... (is the right leg charred?)

I like the effect of the water - the patterns and shdows on her leg. I wish there was more of this tho - the darkness of the rest of the shot makes it hard to put into context - if more of her body were underwater it would be more cohesive. Also it is such a natural, honest shot, I find the sunglasses take away form that.

Lighting is great, so is the contrast. 6

Because of the poor exposure it's hard to judge the shot. I see an older woman in the water but it's hard to see any real detail.

Comment by Kavey:
I like this a lot, with a couple of exceptions. Firstly, I'm definitely not keen on the sunglasses or the way the water ripples over her lower leg. It sort of cuts up into the flesh of her thigh too - so the shape and size of her thigh doesn't feel quite right to me.
Secondly I'd like just a touch more light on the foreground arm. Not too much, as I like that some parts of her just merge into the blackness, but a touch more would be my preference.
I love the relaxed pose and the suntan shapes...

composition could have been more subtle?

Not sure I understand what's going on here. I'm sure there is some meaning to it that eludes me and is more personal. My submission is the same way. Still, this is a very good image and the editing you've done on it is effective.

without the sunglasses, this could almost remind me of renaissance art with very curve models who were not stick thin, however, I think there are too many mixed genres going on in this shot to clearly give off one message.

The water and being b&w make this shot. It could have won as well as any of the shots ahead of it.
