Should have used a low viewpoint instead of high, the high gives a submissive cast, which isn't appropriate to the subject matter, IMO.

Otherwise, perfect execution, as usual. ;)

Damn, great shot! I love it when I call em ;) I should keep track of how many blues or top 10's I pick out in challenge.

Avoid blown out skies like the plauge. You had a fairly good idea here, but your technicals are killing you. The foot provides a nice point of interest, having a girl painting her toenails with some vivid colors would be better. The blown skies is more than an exposure technical, light draws the eyes. If the whole picture were high-key, then the preponderance of light would force the eyes to seek out details in what dark is left.

Mess with the levels on this, clip the blacks and white a TON, and increase the midtone contrast a bit. change the hue/sat decrease the lightness and saturation on the blues and up everything else a bit. Run a pass of USM (unsharp mask) at about 100,.5,0 but only at this size, larger pics need different settings than small.

Well, the technicals are necessary as Nick said, but there REALLY needs to be someone/something even slightly interesting at the end of that gargantuan leading line.
