The shot is very compelling as a portrait. Most times people worry about the technicality of teh exposure, composition and lighting at the expense of capturing the emotion and essence of the subject. You have not achieved perfet exposure, overexposed imo, but the portrait works because of the captures essence and expression. you had the patience and direction to make it happen.

great composition and clouds. I love the shadowy detail against the sail. Perhaps I would like better context for teh shot, les "cropping", showing more of the boat or horizon. I still like it better than most shots though.

great idea, black and white is not really doing it for me though. I do like the compostiion but the focal point is the face and it is out of focus, and the blurry obscured hip area is distracting.

stunning detail. this is green as nature intended it. perhaps there is just a bit missing to make this a trule compelling shot, the composition or "focus zones" may seem a bit unnatural or... artificial.

perfectly interesting composition, perhaps focus is not perfectly acheived, could be my eyes.

stunning shot, brilliant water, perhaps a bit processed looking in the green and blue?

soft, shiny and dangerous. the light is brilliant, the detail is stunning, (the freckles on the shoulder) And the gun is phallic and the expression is perfect. this is a masterpiece. This is a 10. This is done very very well.

Is this her name? I hope so. because if you mean in in the "mercy me, look here" sense, your a bit off. The eyes are portrayed wonderfully, and this really speaks to the viewer.

Beautiful shot, but perhaps it might have been better to show a glow of light through the ballon rather than an overexposed flame and darkness for most of the shot, but luck is a fickle thing, even to a master! good luck!
