Great model, colors and light! Great job. Beautiful

Interesting shot, maybe adding a paint brush between her toes would have tied the girl to the shot a little more but still very interesting take on the subject.

this shot is awesome.

No, the girl doesn't have anything to do with pollution, but who cares, photography is about more than this website. This is a sick shot in its own right and the comments and the faves attest to that.

Dont know what the girl has to do with this challenge.

The colour in the shot works brilliantly and the utterly inexplicable pose is both impressive and interesting. Kudos to you on a good shot and to your model on excellent flexibility.
maybe a little to aesthetically pleasing, doesn't feel like a pollution shot to me.

I think this might've worked better if it were vertical so the leg isn't chopped off and the other about to go out of frame. Also i think she is somewhat out of place in this photo for the challenge. I really like the lighting and the post production; the tones are really nice and the lighting shows off the legs curves nicely.
I would love to see more of your work, pm me your profile or portfolio or something if you would. I'm not voting just so you know.

Or is it Art?... Good lighting.

That looks insane! I like the gritty texture of the background and how contrasting colors are next to eachother. (the green and red on the wall & the blue and yellow on the girl) I see the vandalism but is it pollution? Outstanding photograph just not right for this challege in my opinion. Would be a 10 for me if only it fit better.

Honestly, I'm not sure why the model is in the picture. But damn, she's flexible. I would have panned-out a bit more to give perspective as to where this graffiti is. As far as the model, I actually think she is too good looking to be in the picture of a pollution challenge. That may sound silly, but an old dirty man smoking two cigarettes at a time would fit better with pollution.

Nice compostion and idea, with great contrast coming from the lady and the polluted background. awesome photo.

nice, but if the girl didnt have a large range it might have been better.

great color and clarity, my only problem is that the girl range connects to the bottome to the top.

Cool image, love the softness of this image and the very fit model is amazing. I would have perhaps cropped a little of the left side but that is just my taste.

I think if you could have shown her whole body including her other leg in a portrait style it would have had more impact. Well done.

Not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of pollution. Still, a very good idea and a great shot!

Holy flexibility!!! I love the lines - vertical and the horizontal ones. Beautiful processing.
 03/12/2008 06:31:41 PM
I don't understand why the girl is there.

This is one of my favorites in the challenge. Love the contrast between the girl and the surroundings. Well done.

Interesting combination of subjects.

 03/12/2008 02:46:01 AM
