I took this shot trying to get a cover shot for a local magazine. It was cropped horizontal for this but the original is vertical. The model was in a disapearing pool with the lake as a backdrop. Hope you guys like it.

Very impressive! An amazing photo - and very creative thinking to capture the deceptively easy backdrop........ I wish the whole photo could be displayed as it was taken. Looks like a "Sports Illustrated" cover shot. The ripples in the pool and the statuesque stance of the woman are a great contrast. Her mirrored profile is eye catching and produces intriguing symmetry.
Strong saturation works very well for the woman; perhaps a bit strong on the blue channel, though. Centered subject and oblique perspective of the face also work quite well. Overall, very nicely done!
Incredible image of a very beautiful woman. I especially enjoy the strength of her shoulders and arms. The image makes me wonder what the rest of this beauty looks like? It evokes my imagination, which is strong, so it is powerful image that is as strong as her carved body. 10 Morgan
Up there with the top shots this challenge - something just prevents it being my favourite, but I don't think i could say what exactly - still makes the top 5.
greatest picture i've seen so far this week... perfect ballance... only bad thing is the shadow falling on the girls lips which makes her seem angry or something like this... an emotionless face would have made this picture perfect!
Gorgeous subject, as well as color and composition. To bad the water wasn't cooperatively calm for this shot (would have been even more dramatic I think).
I don't know about the head turn and symmetry, but regardless this is an absolutely phenomenal photo. The color of the water is sort of fake looking, but looks cool in its own right. Very well done - 10
Excellent ! INot only do you have a nice reflection, you also have a model who's pshyique demonstrates the principle of symmetry well. The overall balance of the image is also very good. It does have a truly harmonious feel to it.
Nice shot... maybe should have had the girl looking straight ahead at the camera. Although that would have given a shadow down the middle of her face probably, but still might be nice.
