Massive fish-eye bend to the horizon!!!!! The wave motion is good, but it is unclear if the rest of the image is in focus. And the bowed horizon just blows the picture!

Like a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs!

I don't like the border, and it seems to be outside of the actual edge of the image by quite a bit. The way it is presented almost makes it look like a picture of a page in a book, though I suspect it is caused by a slightly dirty glass or tube or whatever the fish is in. It would be improved by cropping to the edge of the container or slightly inside it.

Woudl be improved by the focus extending to the top of the horses head. instead of just on the snout. Great image though!

Nice detail! I would have cloned out the stray leaves coming off the stalk at the bottom.

Spartan and beautiful in its simplicity! The only nit-pick is that the detail on the plant could be sharper. Very good work though!!!

Uncapped

The cracks in the reflective surface distract. and the colors on the cap look a bit pixelated (though I cannot say for certain that it is not what the cap looks like. Interesting angle. I don't know if it helps though...

Too little detail in the sea and sky. Nice colors, but that doesn't push it over the edge.

Not sure what the crown of barbed wire is supposed to symbolize? Good facial expression on the model's face. Too much negative space on the right. Her lips are too well made-up for the intended effect. It makes her look like a model that has been smudged with dirt and ash as opposed to an abandoned waif lost in the world. If she agreed to the smudges, you should have had her remove ALL make-up first. Also, the implied nudity is not necessary or effective. A tattered short sleeved frock would have conveyed the intended message better than attempting titilation with the bear shoulders covered by the long tresses. (Afterall, who WOULD abandon such a beauty clad such?!?!?! A complete IDIOT?)
