I liked everything about this photo. The way the water curving over her head looks like jello, glistening jewel quality of her suit, the vulnerable beauty of her face and breasts, the bubble of air also with a jewel quality to it. The stillness of her face, with the bubble testifying that this is an airbreathing person, not a mermaid. I would have cropped it to include the rest of her bosom if possible, but otherwise thought it was a beautiful and witty portrait. I didn;t comment during the voting because I expected you would get tons of great comments. After reading a couple of negative comments, I thought I'd go ahead and add mine. I gave it a 7 because I would have liked it cropped a little differently. If you were able to capture it, I would have preferred to include her whole chest. And no, this is not lust. I'm a middle aged woman. :)
Wow. I've noticed that people really like to give bad comments... I think this was a very nice picture despite what some people may say :-) Keep up the good work. Yes that's right this picture was good!!!
I'm not certain the air bubble coming out of her nose is such a good idea, but the rest of this really works for me. Did you mean to get the camera and yourself in the shot? Water reflections can be tricky that way. Some of the reflections make her forehead appear "mottled". Photo 9 Creativity 10 People 9 total 9
This would be awesome, nearly perfect if not for the bubble coming out of her nose. It's a great shot with excellent composition, color, contrast, texture, and balance, but that darn bubble...
great catch, just breaking the surface; love the air bubbles...would have liked to see the eyes open too but not much you can do about that if the person can't or won't do it, eh?
i like the concept but the shot needs to be pulled out. You either need to capture her head or her whole body. I also dont like the fact that her head is patially cut off and the bubble that is coming out of her nose looks like a booger.
The refraction is an interesting effect, but I don't actually like the way it distorts her body. It flattens the perspective and the blue glow makes her look like a corpse! More could have been made of that in an artistic sense, perhaps, if you had been able to experiment with different framing/cropping/post processing effects, but this photo doesn't seem to take advantage of the things the water distortion could achieve.
It looks like she has a big ole snot bubble coming out of her nose. I'm thinking that she should have wiped her nose before she got in the pool. It looks like there is another snot bubble getting ready to go in her ear. I'm thinkin all these snot bubbles are gross. Are the snot bubbles the 'subject' of this photo or is the subject her boobs? I would have rather seen more boobs and less snot.
think the photo should have been taken closer to the way the design of her suit is reacting with the water, see in the back? it looks really neato, but her face and the cleavage shot seem to take away from it. Abstract with a hand or something would have been pretty cool.
The idea behnd this is great, but the bubble coming out of her nose is very distracting to me. I love the bright colors and the texture of the water on her hair..... if not for that bubble I would have given you a 10.
