From a camping trip to the beach. Friends daughter washing sand off. Most commented that they wish I would have cropped tighter-- I considered it but in the end decided against. I wanted a little more context.
Thanks for the comments. This is one of my favorites from 2008.

I can't belive this didn't score higher, definately made my first page and I'm one of those 10s. Great photo, processing, story, composition and cropping (yes I agree 100% with your chosen crop).
I really like this except for the bright areas around the edge are drawing my eye. I "cropped" it in my browser window and I think I like it better with the blue tile wall taking up the whole background. Still good work, regardless of my nitpick.
Although it was considered amusing at the time, the ritual dance that Jenny had developed during her showers, it became apparent as the years passed that perhaps it wasn't just a funny childhood thing.
On her 20th birthday, when the skies opened up, and hell rained down, nobody was amused at all.
I'm imagining what it would look like if cropped til the tiles. Regardless, fantastic image of this young girl washing off against a seemingly harsh shower environment.
I literally caught myself smiling - ohhhh - to be young and naive again :-) What a great shot. The only thing I would do different is to crop off the tile ending on the left so that you have a uninterrupted "canvas" behind.
