Beautiful light and nice capture of the flowing salt. I love the intent look in your model's eyes.

The quality is way above par and beyond criticism. The intent stare gives it an ageless feel. Congratulations on your top 20 finish. Another highly underrated image.

I love this shot. This is my pic for number one. the granuls, the model, the expression, and the title come together to form the best shot I have seen in a long time.

I like the composition and the action of this photo. Excellent job with the lighting and the best of the salt entries. I also like the stop action of the flowing salt that allows the photo to meet the themes criteria.

Wow, I have such a mishmash of emotions, I'm not sure what this shot is trying to say. It's beautiful, a great concept well executed, now if only I could pin down the feeling behind it.

Great photo

Very nicely done but the model's expression would have made more impact had she looked down on the salt running through the hand and not looked into the lense so harshly, good shot though..

I really like the way you did this. The composition and color tones you used make it appealing and interesting.

IMO I think I would have cropped just under her hand

I like the photo but the title turned me off completely.

Very pleasant lighting. She looks a little Frodoesque from Lod of the Rings. Not a bad thing!
