I LOVE the photo but I am not a fan of the Title. Seems more like an "early morning/first smoke of the day" capture than a 'boredom' image. I really think the title takes away from the moment. That's just MHO.

I agree, creative and original. The only problem I have with it is the direction of the "wind blown" hair? Yet there seems to be no similar movement to the water or the birds. I think the model alone could have made an equally impactful image. Nice work. Pete.

GREAT shot! Bigger is better IMO. Thanks for posting. Pete.

I like it. I just can't decide if I would like it more or less without the people. Stunning image either way. Pete.

Seems your vantage point and location are unfair and unrealistic. Beautiful image. Pete.

Art! Period. Pete.

Critique? Not possible. This is disturbing and artistic. I can't tell if B/W would be more dramatic or more interesting. Regardless, you captured an image that will bother most and make most others talk. Nice job. Pete.

Very interesting! Makes me keep thinking what the light source is or why he/she may be 'shielding' it. Regards, Pete.

Wow! Stunning!

This is a testament that simpler can be better...not sure I worded that correctly but you know what I mean. Nice! Pete.

A poster worthy of my daughter's walls. Nice work!!!!

The tree framing is really bothering me. Not that it's not a good capture, just IMHO a clear backdrop above the main tree line would seem to make more sense with the idea. Just MHO. Regards, Pete.

This is great! I really think a minor crop above/at/near the cloud on the right would make this more interesting...with more focus on the rocks and blues. A bit more contrast on the rocks in the foreground wouldn't hurt either. The more I look at it the more I yearn for a crop. Seems to centered, even with the foreground and 'rock ledge'. Nice job. Pete.

I love it! I just soooo wish everything was sharp and focused. But the composition is perfect. Nice work. Pete.

I think it needs a bit more detail/contrast just behind the head and along the neck. Aside from that, truly awesome. Regards, Pete.

Great moment!

I cannot tell if there is any ps editing with this shot. It really doesn't matter if there is or isn't, it is truly postcard worthy. Nice job, Pete.

I have thought of setting a scene similar to this so many times but have yet to have the opportunity. This is nearly what I have imagined. Not necessarily the perfect nude model, but moreso the emotion and atmosphere. Great stuff! Pete.

Bigger is soooo much better! I have no critique at all. Simply original and outstanding!

Excellent! Great abstract! Regards, Pete.

Love the composition but I think there might be a bit too much sharpening on the snow/ice line? Almost looks fake. Great eye, many compliments. Pete.

Awesome perspective of an everyday subject! GREAT! Regards, Pete.

I agree with Doug. Great shot. A crop on the left or right side may 'square up' the image a bit, but it might have more of an impact. NICE!

Not much of a critique...but this, to me anyway, seems nearly impossible...especially reaching the correct color balance without any PP. I'd give this a 7/7 for the level of difficulty alone. Regards, Pete.

I love the contradiction in size and how the oars mimic the buoy and the life ring on the boat! It leaves me wanting more clarity/contrast/color though. Looks like you captured the moment perfectly. Regards, Pete.
