This is the first time I'm submitting anything. Well, nothing really special, this was my only "bright" idea. I'd just like to say thanks to my GF for being a good sport.

I liked this shot and thought it may have done better than it did. There are two things that I dont like, first of all I found the watch on the models wrist quite distrating. Maybe beacuse it was on a horizontal third my eye was drawn towards it? Secondly the uneven border, I know it's a little bit picky, but I think photographs look better on this site when presented in an even border.
However a great creative and fun photograph, I look forward to seeing more of your work.
I'd like to say thanks to all those who voted for me, in either direction. This was my first submission, and I thought it worked out quite well. Thanks again, and this won't be the last time you will see me.
He he he! I like the way you're showing the human aspect of the zodiac - that it's about predicting/ analysing human behaviour/ personalities. Very humourous, and strong composition. 8
Nice portrait with a felicitous models expression. Composition and cropping are well done, IMHO there ist nothing serious, you could have done better. Maybe I would have left out the watch, IMHO it competes against the nose ring. But that's only marginal... Good luck for the challenge!
Good, very funny, simple but well thought out. I can picture it being used in a magazine along with an article on mens "bullishness"
Her expression is great - The hands look just right.
One thing stands out though as "shouldn't be there" - the wristwatch/bracelet.
Exposure-wise something had to give. Such beautifully dark hair - beatiful coloured skin and a white top. One of them had to be under or over exposed. Something had to go wrong. Fortunately it was the top/vest, I think to get rid of the distraction - some of the white could be cropped off and it leaves "a great picture"
