Laurie,the mermaid from Porto Rico.

Thank you to stop for rating and critique.

Wonderful tones! She seems lost in the ocean. Congrats!

should be cropped slightly more from left and right. further, very nice!

Pretty setting!

I like the Sundown orange hue in the photo.

6/6

This is a beautiful picture, but I think it would gain more compositionally if she weren't positioned smack dab in the middle. Great lighting.

I've understood Jean Paul's technique!!! instead of going around with your camera, as we all do, he does that with a bunch of beautiful girls!! and there you go! instead of having a plain sunset you have this... Sacre Jean Paul!!

Yep, some people simply don't know how the rating works - but there are some who write tools that rate all other photos and especially nudes 1/1 under different names. Thus, I don't care about ratings anymore. This is a great shot.

not exactly nude by my standards, but very nice in every way

To answer to "croping or not croping" I will refer to the first comment on this page, by Thierry.Imaging if I crope around the subject, Laurie would not be riding in the ocean as Thierry said.

I almost can say I never crope my picture.In this specific case, for me to have the big rock full, was important, but to get the tiny one (upper right) was important as well.Actually I was working with my 2OOmm f2.8 canon lens, and I could not go futher back. If I could I would probably have put even more space around Laurie, my main subject.And here, Jennifer is right as well, Laurie should not be right in the middle, but I could not do that without cutting the big rock.Just to say, I had to make a choice, and I thought at that time, the big rock compensate for the model to be right in the middle of the frame.

So with some immagination, as Thierry says, Laurie seems like riding this big rock to the ocean.

And for the story, just after this picture, I grab the three legs of my tripod, hushering it with the camera and lens well over my shoulder....and then the camera with the heavy 200mm fell on one of these big granite rocks.

Camera was dead (I had a spare one with me), the Lens was dead (no spare of course), and the photographer a bit frustrated.

Ok...you know almost everything...about this picture...

Thanks again....and ...keep smiling to life...life will smile to you, where ever there is light, there is a picture to take...

This is a beautiful image.

beautiful

tr賠belle image, c'est vrai qu'elle aurait pu etre cadree differemment mais ࠭on avis, elle rend toute l'ambiance voulue telle qu'elle est.
