I like everything about this except for the fact that the first nail is out of focus. It's still a good photo, but I think it could have been even better. Thanks for sharing.

Alluring

Excellent work!
+ The exposure and tonality across her face and chest is wonderful.
+ The eyes are well lit even though her right eye is slightly shadowed.
+ Subtle but nice lighting on the background to give separation.
- The only slight minus... and I had too long a long time to find anything... is the sharp transition from light to shadow where her left wrist is bent. A little abrupt for an image with such smooth transitions.... but so minor I wouldn't have mentioned except to show how well done the overall image is.

Excellent portrait. I do have one comment on the lighting... the shadow to the left of the frame seems to add weight, from a composition standpoint, behind the subjects. Maybe a little light on the background to balance that would help. Of course this is just an opinion.... thanks for sharing the image.

Wonderful composition and great timing to get the right blue in the sky and the right reflections.

It is hard to define the nuance that can take an image from average to extraordinary, but you have found it here. I could probably go on for a page about why I like it.... but you already know all of this because this type of image is not accident. Fantastic work and a 10.

I think you've used too much photoshop.... your cheeks look almost plastic!

Just kidding of course. Fun image, thanks for sharing.

Cut Off From the World

I don't know that I like removing the head to illustrate cut off from the world... but beyond that this is very well executed. The tonality in the shadows, the saturation of the color, and the contrast all work together to create wonderful texture in the light... I guess depth would be the best word.

I love the concept here, but the sharpness of the eyes is almost too much for the overall texture of the image. I believe I understand the goal... but I think it would have been just as effect letting the color make the point and leaving the eyes with a little bit less processing. Of course this is just an opinion, so I'm not going to lower the score based on my artistic impression. Good work and thanks for sharing.

the color/tone of this image gives it a very artistic feel. Thanks for contributing something other than the standard tree on a hil with super saturated colors.
