Critique by ~djohn9 Oct 26, 2009, 1:49:42 PM
21,000+ views and over 1,000 favorites. Still no critique.

Mesmerizing is the one word that sums up the look of this picture. I am reminded of the Arthurian Lady of the Lake. The detail in the models features and the quickly going out of focus background really gives this image a sense of depth. In addition the stillness of the model contrasts well with the disturbance apparent in the surface of the water. Then there is the contrast of the stringy unkempt hair in contrast to the apparently flawless skin. The focus of her eyes on the camera, in turn, draws your focus to her face.The color of the photo, if the original is right on and requires no tweaking in my opinion.
What do you think?

I can not find the words for how this image makes me feel. It takes my breath away. The honesty in this image, the feeling of "take me as you find me, no lies here" is incredible. How you can obtain that in an image. The presence of nature is divine in its calm and tranquility. There is a wonderful sense of solitude. Her truthfullness in its nudity and her honest and direct stare could challenges the viewer to accept what they see to question what they are drawn to. This image makes me want to know this free spirit and find it again within myself. At once it makes me feel entranced, makes me long for the person I once was, makes me want to know this individual but also fear her in case I can never be that person again that is brought forth to the forefront of my mind simply by gazing upon this peice.
Technically it is also genious but creatively it is divine!
Though I may not have spoken eloquently enough to tell you how this image makes me feel at least I have spoken honestly.
