Since you went for so much definition (and your model seems to spend endless hours in the gym!) why is the photo blurred and not crisper? Perhaps the fuzziness enhances some sculptural effect, but I think that could have been done with the most minor lighting tweaks, or even exposure adjustments.
The model is far more awe inspiring than this version of the photo, at least to me, and I'm straight!

I wanted an image to capture the deep, cool, saline sensation of
swimming in the Agean. I think this one got it.

I don't care if he soaked it in dye and had HAL 9000 manipulate every pixel The image is stunning, and when I opened it up, I said "Wow!"
We have to remember photography is an evolving art form, and using the tools avilable to maximize impact is perfectly acceptable. Just like HDTV is overwhelming because it conveys depth of field and detail across a much broader arc than the human eye can process, this sort of image "expands the visual vocabulary" as some of the more cretinous contemporary art dealer might say!
Keep it up.
Wow!

The first rater gave this shot a 4.0 / 3.0, no critique. How exactly would you make this shot better aestheticaly and more original? It's a coastal course, I have no aerial transpor! Suggestions! SHow me a better way! -
How do you capture a golf course that sits 80 feet above the ocean
with miles of fairways along the precipices over dazzling coves with
rolling 6-8 foot breakers throwing a blanket of mist over everything
without a helicopter? I tried, Lord, I tried!

What a pal! -

May have been done 1,000 times, but this is a nice exposure, and I like the toning. Woul undoubtedly benefot from richer shadows -- like a real silver print!

Unmanipulated photo of sun breaking through clouds at Ngorongoro
Crater. Challenging exposure, handled well by averaging. Needed
higher ISO to get it all handheld. All that's been done is a slight
histogram adjustment. Could be enhanced with dodging/burning but not
sure it's necessary/honest??

These leaves were frozen in a layer of ice on an outdoor table's
glass top. I got under the table and shot up toward the sky, with a
low sun angle.

This image appealed to me as a found collage that could only be New
England in the Fall. Stone wall, moss, maple leaves, late-afternoon
light...

Early morning light at Skibo in Dornoch, Scotland. Felt like George
Stubbs should have had an easel set up.

You emphasize this pretty girl's worst features in the most unflattering possible angle and lighting. The tonality is good, but this is a very unfortunate portrait. -
Hottie.

A nice shot until you read where it took place. Girl went from a little cowgirl to something else.

This shot ws a real test of the camera's zoned metering! It got all
the details, and just a minor bit of dodging in the lower right
brought out shadow detail I never would have gotten on film.
For some reason, this photo really satisfies me -- it captures all
at once what I could only see with my eyes one piece at a time. Sort
of like the way HD TV is better than natural vision in the sense
that it brings incredible focus and depth of field to a far wider
angle of view than natural sight can ever do.

How do you get a 100KB file to convey the subtlties of a 20MB file
(70MB .tif file?)???
This is the best I could do, and it's not even close to doing this
image justice.

A surprise on our last night... Shot handheld for 10 seconds with
d2h braced on a railing (no tripod, alas!)
