The blown out highlights at the back are a bit distracting, though I kinda like the perspective that is created by the poles behind her.

Although definately fun, I'm not sure that this works for me... perhaps as a b&w?

well, what i do like is the colors of the dress and how they stand out so much from the backdrop. dont really care much for the highlights, but maybe thats what you watned. as long as your happy with it, go for it!

She's hot, but the blown highlights and landscape orientation are a bit distracting.

Great setting creates a mood not matched by the bg smile. Something sinister or sultry would've worked better for me. Maybe b/w too. 6

This image has great potential. Centered comp works well. Selective desat works well. Subject and composition in general are quite good. Lots of dynamic action going on. Setting is a bit creepy but it is original and out of the box. But the oversharpening damages an otherwise fine presentation.
