Sorry, I gave this a three and thought I'd at least have the decency to tell you why, that it's just my personal taste, I have never been a fan of "blurry artsy" photos but I get the feeling a lot of people would dissagree with me :)

Very nice shot, I like it a lot, the birds add a lot to it.

Very nice shot, would have been proud to have taken this myself. Only thing that drags it down for me is the framing, a bit too central for my taste, but still an 8 in my books

Nice photo, but for my taste I feel the framing is a bit off, too little space above the bird and too much reflection, my eye actually wanders more towards the reflection than the actual bird. Definately above average though!

Nice photo, you look familiar, Hanneke? Anyway, I am a huge fan of really high contrast images so for my personal taste it's a bit flat, but still nice, gave a 6.

Originally posted by Chinarosepetal: Great lighting and backdrop, but once your brain has seen a girl with an amputated arm it refuses to see it any other way! I think I'd have preferred the model angled round so I could see the complete arm across her breasts.

No. Thx for the observation, but I do not agree with you. Because of the scene behind her, the surroudings, this was by far the best angle to shoot from, and had she turned, like you suggested, because of the direction of the wind, the chiffon would not be blowing the way it is, her left hand is holding the other end of the material. The only option to get that angle on her, would be for me to move further to the left, and then the clouds would not have aligned like they do, making for a far less interesting photo.

Seeing how common it is to not see entire limbs in people photographs I am surprised to hear that your imagination works that way, had both of her hands been flat down her side of her body, would you have assumed her right arm was missing?

Great street photography shot, gives me the sense of a story here free for interpretation, wich is the only type of street photography I like. Gave a 9. Actually came back a couple of days later to give a 10, my favorite in this challenge.
