No real tricks here ... had to rush - shot it on the final day ... co cooperation frombaby or anyone! ... My daughter cried but anything for this challenge. I just wanted something! I cloned some areas of the surface, as well as the shadow, hue-saturation - some sharpness and contrast added.

Toning on this a little harsh on the red side. Think it would have been better with softer colors. The image itself is interesting. Not sure what I am supposed to take from it. I think the toning is in contrast to the purpose of the image unless the birth of venus was a difficult thing. Not up on my myths. Interesting take non-the-less. 6 - good luck in the challenge.
It feels like the focus is on the shell and not on the birth. I see that the baby moved too. I like the red tint of the photo. I wish you the best of luck.
I think that the image may be slightly over sharpened. I also don't like the general color, it's a bit red, I think a straight black and white may have done this a bit better justice. Great idea however, very origional.
I'm a little distracted by the movement of the right leg. Other than that, I like the hue, it adds an interesting element. The focus is good as is the crop.
Something about this shot bothers me - not really sure what it is though. I really like the mythological reference and the shot appears to be quite good technically. I think perhaps it is the color tones - they seem to be not quite sepia and not quite rosy. The movement of the feet are also a bit of a distraction. HOWEVER, the overall mood and feel of the piece is very strong and emotive. Nice job.
i love the idea, i dont care for the red tones. they just dont look right on the babies bottom. Must have been hard to dangle him not have his legs flaying.
technically i think the shot could have been better... for example without the motion blur in the feet... also the shot looks like it was neat image a bit too excessively.
