really nice b&w treatment (foot pointing in the background a great touch - the element far right distracts, however) To make this shot a bit better... the placement of the straight (window?) so close to the dancer detracts from the simplicity.

great sky and colors (small nit - would like to see a bit more blue on top of boat to enhance the silh. aspect.)

The sky makes this a step-above shot.

Does anyone care that it's raining out here?

Thanks for all your comments (and for not getting on my case for being able to recognize my dog!) My top ranked finish (12) to date!

For JasonPR and the others who enjoyed the shot -- you've made my week (and it's only Monday)!

For the folks that didn't think it was raining -- yup, quite heavily (check out the drops that show up on the top of her head) Not a picture of a picture but a picture of consentration.
