| I always click on this photograph when I see it's thumbnail and its impact has not diminished with multiple viewings. Something about the model, her eyes, the dress, the reflection... really just an enchanting feel to the image and I am drawn in as if it were a siren's song. Beautiful |

| I like this shot but I think it would be even better if the reflection were not there. I find it a bit distracting and it draws to much of my attention from the potential intensity of the models eyes. |

| I love that you left in her freckles. So many people process out freckles and I think they give a lovely sense of persona in a portrait. Well done and congrats on the blue! :) |

| I just looked at this image again and found that I may have underscored it. I only gave it a 9. In my second viewing the fact the model is a cute freckled faced girl captured me. The juxtaposition of the innocence connoted by the freckles and the dripping sultriness of the rest of the image really pushes this over the top for me. |

Just noticed you're back with Canon... very wise move, the 5D is spectacular as you can see.

| Thanks for all the comments and votes. This shot was taken in a deserted indoor swimming pool. The girl is in a bathing suit looking out the window into the green fields. It is good to be back to Canon after two and a half years of going Nikon. The 5D is awesome, you almost don't need Photoshop anymore :) |

| Gorgeous model with a beautiful body. Personally, I would have preferred more clothing as I feel that her cleavage is distracting away from her face and she has such stunning eyes that nothing more is needed. I'm sure every red blooded male will disagree with me, but that's okay ;) |

| Nice idea, good lighting and composition, and a lovely model you have. I also like the dress (at least what we can see of it), but I guess that it will cost you a few points with the prude crowd. 9. (The only thing I don't like about the image is that the glass of the reflection seems a bit dirty.) |
