Robert, this is well done. How long was the exposure on this one? This is well composed with the model off centered. I could imagine an alternative with a close crop around the model.

Great idea!

--that water was probably cold, and it must have taken several tries to get an unblurred exposure. Nothing new about motion blur with water, and nothing new about pretty girls, but it was an interesting idea to put them together. I like your composition pretty much as it is, with the background relating something about the inner state of the figure, but one suggestion: the dark area at top-of-frame suggests specific location. Cropping it out makes the picture more general, more like a fantasy landscape, and a better depiction of inner state. On the other hand, a white area at top-of-frame would not work graphically. Is it possible to darken that area, incorporating more detail?

Outstanding, original, beautiful image... It's just breathtaking.

bravo

Thank you for your kind comments.

 

To Charles, The water is warm here in Guatemala, not much suffering there. This was the only exposure on this exact pose, and thankfully was sharp.

 

I will explore your suggestions on paper, since the scan did not record detail the negative has.
