That is so nice...I love the background, quite interesting and unusual. The pretty girl is nice also though. :)

Great photo.

Beautiful subject but I am distracted by the buildings in the background and the smoke pulls me away from the girl.

Aside from the fact that this is a picture of a pretty-much unquestionable sexy pose on an attractive girl, the elements here are just unfathomable - I really can't get over this and I think you'll have many faves. The juxtaposition of the gold bikini and shanti-industrial feeling in the background with the steam --- wow --- The colors can pass for pastel but I think that might be the only thing that keeps it out of the blue -- perhaps a red is in order :)

The girl doesn't fit this picture to me. The backgrounds makes it look cold out.

why is she eating an ice cream bar?

Interesting...girl eating ice cream in a lagoon with factories behind her...not really sure what to make out of this shot but technically speaking I like it...good lighting on the model and surrounding water. Can't wait to see the details on this shot.

Wonderful location. I think this image could stand alone without the ice cream bar. I think it takes away from the natural beauty. The bathing suit probably should have been a pastel color, the gold is pretty strong.

Nice lighting, I think a different color bathing suit would have made the contrast from background to foreground a bit more intense.
