Deep End of the Oceanby
SugarpieComment by littlegett: Two things I see straight off the bat is that I don't think this is water but a sky, and the blacks. At first glance it does appear you are laying on your back with your feet in the air. Could be partially because of the rolled up pants appear down from gravity and the perspective of your feet being small.
As I look for longer than a couple seconds I do notice it is not sky but water. This is most evident with the small splash in the upper right corner as I am looking at it. Now personally I would have enjoyed a greater splash or something to show this is water and not sky. maybe someone swimming under your feet with a shark mask/fin on.
I really enjoy your use of the dark blues of the water and how they lighten up on your pants and how well the black frames the image and works into the shadows on your pants and into the shoes. Now most purest will say they hate the frame, though I really enjoy it. For me it really drawls me in and than straight to your feet.
Now, no offense but your feet are the weakest part of this image. The skin tone seems really flat and lifeless. I am not exactly sure how to add more life to them, with basic rules. Normally I would take selective colours and push the yellow/reds a touch to add some colour and if it changed the rest of the colours to much make it a mask. A mask not being legal in basic, and I am iffy on selective colours.
I am trying to locate your main focal area. Even though I see the lines in your jeans which I like, there does not seem to be a clear focal point. No area really stands out sharper than the rest, everything seems to have soft curves/edges.
Overall it is a very nice image, though I don't recognize the movie title, the blues are nice there just seems to be a missing element which could be sharpness/focal point.
