to all for the critique. I can see now where  i must pay attention and what else has to be done 

Thank you very much, i actually didn't even think about the arm, nice of you to point it out. There is still quite a lot to learn. 

Good to hear that the skin tones worked out. I must say that she does not wear any make up (only very slight PP on the skin). 

I really like the crop. A pity I won't be able to repeat the photoshoot with her, but now i know which mistakes i should avoid. 

 

 

Although i find this image to be almost as i wanted it to be, but i can't get

rid of the "feel" like something is not yet up to the standard (somehow to

me it looks like its due to colours). I tried o get rid of the magenta cast on

the skin tones, does it look too greenish now? Or maybe I left it absolutely

lifeless???

hmmm.... although it is a nice image, i like the object, but i find the post processing very disturbing...especially on the left side of the image where you probably tried to get rid of the details so it wouldn't be distracting..but in this case the absence of it is what distracts me.

So you've went to the south africa?

I envy you that you were able to see this odd behavior of these sharks, wonderful creatures and a great capture - you were very lucky!

Beautiful lightt!

I really enjoyed browsing all your photos, love how you include forms of the body into nature, textures. Just the way you manipulate form is something that IMHO couldn't be done by everyone.

Thanks for sharing :)

You are both brilliant and extremely lucky...

Superb shot, i am also from the field of biology and i find the details just perfect!

Now this could be used in textbooks!

It is a great shot, but for my taste a bit over-processed...

Still great idea and very good composition!

Oh now this is harsh.... :D

Great shot!

Brilliant shot. The mood is just on the spot. I could talk for hours just interpreting this shot!

Can't say any bad words about this one. Beautiful light/model/PP/and everything else.

It is a very nice portrait! Fun to watch, but it lack something....maybe some movement would have made it look a little bit more natural?

I like this shot. I can't say which part of it works for me.

Love this shot. As Manuel said, the thing that catches attention is the symbols and the patterns.

I like how the elements in the shot interacts.

I like the composition and the DOF

Like the composition, i wonder if the shallower DOF would have been better, because now the eye just slips to the background :)

Still a very nice shot!

I love the shadows and how you captured them, it is a really very interesting shot!

Although you have better shots than this one, it is very very nice! Looks very sharp, the focus is just perfect and the composition is very good too!

^ yep, lost for words. True excellence.

Great shot, the composition is nice, has the fell of 3d :)

Superb shot, as mentioned above - very good composition! Like the B&W.

I love every detail of this shot. Superb.
