I went to this location expecting to do a COMPLETELY different kind of shoot, I wanted to do her behind a rock so you could only see her feet and a hand or some hair or something and cover her in mud and make it really weird colors and have then environment tie her "death" altogether and be the negative space, but we got destracted by the reflections in the water...haha....this was taken at 4:00 in the evenening but it was VERY cloudy with solid flat gray clouds with really ugly lighting, just very dark and dull, so it was very difficult to get the sky looking right with basic editing, i have a REALLY awesome outtake...it was really dificult deciding but eventually i went with this one

lovely. I would like to see this in color too (If Mother nature was on your side with blue water and pretty sky).

One of my 10's! I love this photo - it's very dreamy and the woman in the photograph is perfectly positioned. I love how her arms are out and create the mirror reflection. Nice job!

So simple, but elegant and beautiful! I would probably like it even better if it was cropped a little tighter to get the rocks in the lower left corner out of the picture. I still think it would have been enough negative space and possibly even enhanced it with only the lady being in the water. 9

This is different. I like the small thin border. Your DOF is wonderful and b&w works. On my monitor it's a touch dark.

excellent use of negative space on small scale and large scale simultaneously. 10

This is really lovely. Has an almost dreamlike quality. I'm assuming that you are eluding to "the lady of the lake." Serene and quite thought provoking. If it had been mine, I might have cropped it more in the panoramic type shape, leaving less of the sky. That's not a traditional size, but the flat blank sky (yes, it's negative space, but...)is the only slight detraction for me. 7

She almost disappears in the picture. I very much like it, although IMHO I think a tighter crop (eliminating the rocks at left) would give this more impact.

i'm not sure about the composition here. I would prefer a closer crop of the lady i think? Nice image overall (very good reflection of the lady) but lacking something to make it extra special for me
