Interesting image, howeve it doesn't look like water, but plastic. I think the idea is very good, and b & w was a good choice. I bet plastic wrap could be used to look like water....hmmmmm you've inspired me! Thanks....that makes this a successful image in my mind! :-)

This looks more bored to me than despair but it really is in the eye of the beholder. I like the tone.

The eyes are very expressive! Sweet thing! I can see the tongue showing and that\'s fine, but what is that other thing? It really jumps out at me, and garners far too much attention. Beyond DPC, this would be greatly improved by cloning that out.
Aside from that, this is very effective, and you\'ve done a wonderful job. Your focus and exposure, and composition, including perspective are all good.

Great expression on the model's face. The position seems a little weird...contrived, but the message is clear. Good!!

I think that desaturating all but the yellow works very well for this image, making the yellow stand out very well.
The focus is good, with excellent texture in the rope as well as the hand, with effective depth of field.
I like that you expressed a feeling and in a simple, uncluttered manner.
The diagonal of the thumb and arms acts as a nice vehicle for the eyes to ride along, as one explores this picture, making the composition and framing fine. I would prefer to see the entire thumb in the picture though.
Your lighting is pretty perfect. Bright enough, but somewhat subtle too. Very nice!
Good job overall.
Regards,

Sher, This is very eye-catching. The perspective works to lead my eyes throughout the image. I like how it curves up near the top. Very well composed.
The interplay of shadows and light keep it interesting and rythmic.
Adding the gaussian was a very good idea, that contributes to the overall textural effect.
I do wonder if leaving the rusty color in it would have been even better, but black and white works too.
Good job, and I look forward to more of your images.
Regards,

Grayce
