composition too centered. a crop at the bottom would make this way better

Who Has Seen the Wind?

Interesting composition. I wish the glasses were cleaner. The tiny reflections are distracting. The earth did not have to be a literal globe as everything in this shot, from the wax and wick of the candle to the rubber, paper and glass, are all earth's produce. I also wish the the glasses were not cut off at the base. Concept and execution were very good, but overall it lacks a wow factor, probably because of the dull color combination you have selected.

eta: after a final round of viewing the entries, i think this should be up among my 6s.

I tried it myself. i came up with reflections all over the glass. so how do you come up with wonderful lighting? i'd like to ask for your light setup in your photographer's notes. 6 btw.

excellent detail. i like the composition. i appreciate the amount of effort given for this shot. and it was well worth it to have come up with this beautiful image. the warm sunset/sunrise shares the frame with the cool splashes of waves. the model's costume speaks well of the basic materials we derive from the earth. i can almost feel the cool breeze of air as it touches the skin. simply beautiful. all four elements combined in harmony for this wonderful shot. 10

I like how you set this up. Very diffent from all the other entries. The color emphasis added a lot to the composition. There are actually several small items in this shot, but they do not attract attention to themselves. The image is viewed as a whole, and a very pleasant one it is. bumped to 8

lighting is excellent. details are outstanding. i find the right portion of the shot a bit vacant, not very effective use of negative space. 7.
