The location is beautiful! The model is beautiful! But the photographer needs to do some more work to make a beautiful photo. First, you need better light. Fill flash might help, but the model may be too far away. A reflector may help, but you’d have zoom in to keep it out of the frame and need another person to hold it. Sometimes a big hat will at least keep the entire face in the same light, but she doesn’t look like a big hat person. So my suggestion would be to come back when the light isn’t so harsh. Then the model’s pose should match the purpose of the photo. If it’s to relate the beautiful women to the beautiful location, that would be stronger if she wasn’t looking at the camera. Maybe she could somehow interact with the cave? One thing I really like about the background are all the parallel diagonal lines. Maybe the model could wear matching lines, or better, pose in a way to interact with those lines. Of course it’s easy for me to sit at my computer to make all these suggestions, that would require someone else to do a lot of work! -

I like back roads so I "see" this a lot. But you really can't see much at 60mph. So your photo gives me a chance to really "see" it. Thanks for stopping and sharing. -
Best of the best imho. -
In my personal view, 90% of the “stick a naked lady in the woods” photos at photonet are just that. This one is inspirational! -
If Ansel Adams were alive, he'd ask you to join F64! When I used to shot B&W film, I'd use a red filter for landscapes. After seeing the dramatic B&W images at p-net taken with digital cameras, I thought about putting one on my D750. A little more research and I discovered they're already in photoshop! Is that how you got this one? -
Nice "Icescape" ! -

This would be a great photo with just gull and reflection. But the big fish takes it over the top....Way over the TOP!!! Has it been published? Would make a great "parting shot" for outdoor magazine or similar. -
Truthfully, I don’t understand the lack of attention this photo is getting in particular, and the lack of comments at photo.net, in general. You have very skillfully and artfully related the older women to the faded rose. It should be Photo of Week, or for sure POD. However, POW, POD and even Editors Picks are like some rusted machinery, broken and abandoned. What has happened to photo.net? Are we drifting on a ghost ship? Have all the petals fallen from the rose and skin from the bones? -
Master of frozen water photographer! :-) -
Ansel Adams does nudes! Ok, maybe more like Edward or Brett Weston. Very vintage fine art! -
Excellent placement of the metal man! This image would look at home in Nat Geo! And be a real killer as a Metal Print. -
Good find. I could tell it was an owl before reading the title. On my screen it looks a little washed out. Maybe bump up the contrast or adjust the levels curve in PS? -
These birds have always remined me of old men, which a lot of conductors are. This one could easily pass for James Levine's twin. Nice one. -
Looks like Hope is fading. First Rate Fine Art!

Colorful and sharp. It's nice to see what they look like, because the ones around here won't sit still. -
I like #1 better. -

It’s a good thing you had the BIG glass in your arsenal! I’m sure everyone is aware, but this image reminds me that our impression of an image is somewhat dependent on size (print or screen). On a 2 meter screen I think the whole tree image would be a WOW! On a smaller computer screen, like what most of us view photonet images, I think a close up would be more of a Wow!. -

The thorns give the “whole tree” image an interesting “Scratch Art” look. I’m wondering if a close up would show the bird better and increase the drama of the bird-thorn relationship. I suspect you took that image also? -
I’ve heard that race tracks hire them to distract drivers and cause crashes. Keep their ratings up. -
Creative! Good lighting! Agree with Antony about the reflection. That relationship makes it Fine Art. -
Expressive! Looks like she doesn't like you. -
Just having these opposite symbpols of sex in the same photo makes it great. But wait, there’s more! The real drama is you can’t tell what the Nun has decided to do. I think all Nuns carry a stick (or ruler). Will she turn left and start wacking, or turn right and let the lovers, love. What’s going on in her mind? Is she regretful or self righteous? Her mind must be a swirl. Maybe she’ll be so occupied with thought that she’ll keep going the way she’s pointed, and bump into the corner of the wall. -
One of the very best examples I’ve seen of relating the structure of a city to the people who live there. And I’ve seen some excellent work, particularly by the artists at photosight.ru. The elevated view point, combined with the fisheye distortion, makes me feel like I’m visiting a new world. At that distant perspective, it’s almost like the city is an ant hill and something has sent the ants scurrying about to investigate. At a closer perspective, I see people who have escaped the steel and concrete to move, to see without glass filters, to relate with a community. At an even closer perspective, I see the couple in the middle of the ice, holding hands. Maybe that bond is the core that holds everything else together. Others will of course see it differently, but any image that stimulates thought is a good one. -
Beautiful. But I think it could be better if the subject wasn't centered and there wasn't a Biblical Tide to the right. -
Sexy!
