Hidden, yet beautiful and colorful.

Great landscape, but im sure others will notice the tilted horizon too. I checked if it may have been the shape of the lake that makes it seem tilted, but if you zoom at the trees and their reflection, it is indeed off by a pixel or two to one side. I may be nitpicking here, but it also mean i actually spent a lot of time looking at your photo, which is a great shot like i mentioned.

horizon looks a little off. but the aspherical look is engaging, I'd like to see better toning.

Crisp and clean. The lake seems slightly tilted to the right. Maybe an optical illusion. Nice landscape.

Nice portrait of a lovely girl, but can see the "Expert Editing" this challenge was all about.

Critiquing.

First of all, a fabulous portrait with an intense psychological connection between subject and viewer. There is an immense amount of depth in those dark brown eyes and those eyelashes...stunning.

I like the slight vignette, it added a lot of nice pastels into the image.
I enjoy the childish nature of the image. The wet skin, the biting the lip, the bright bathing suit. However, I don't like the angle. I wish you would have gotten down on her level. You eliminate her neck with the angle. It would be nice, as the viewer, to be at a child's level looking into her eyes.

Besides that, the image is great. The water-drop bokeh adds to all the little magical things going on.
