I am new to this site/forum as well as photography in general but I find our work absolutely captivating. I don,t know you from Adam's house cat but I get this Hunter S. thompson vibe off your
work, True Gonzo photography.
Much admiration, Richard cotner,Birmingham |

| I love this photograph. The light and color are crisp and grab the viewer. I am a weekend hack who loves photography more for capturing life as it happens than anything else. However, I also know what I like and I like this photograph. |

| Glad to still see you contributing. Of course when you have nudity, the picture will get hammered by some, but in addition to the ladies, the scenery of some of your pictures are wonderful (ie: this one and the Cuban skies one). |

I love this picture! The Blue sky, the off centered hill, and the model, great job picking a red head for this one. Any other hair color would of not looked as good. She really does look like a mirage, from heaven! Congrates!

Thank you all for the nice comments. Once again, I find myself in 4th position. Ahhhhhhhh, the irony! ;-)
I salute the top 3 winners! Congrats!
Kosmik: your joke/observation is hilarious! By a feather... or two! Man, that one cracks me up!!!!!!!!
To answer some questions:
- I called the shot Mirage because it was photographed at Dry Lake Mirage.
- Yeah, multiple 1's and 2's suck, but I have learned on DPC that the low votes are innevitable as soon as your shot contains any type of nudity. That is the cost to pay to enter such an image in a challenge. Doesn't mean I don't find it frustrating though.
- Ursula: pount taken. The dust should go.
Tahnks again all! Keep shooting!
See ya.

Mirage. From a guys point of view, I guess :))))
Congratulations!
Will I be a total idiot if I point out one little, tiny nitpick that bothers me a bit in this picture? The bigger of the two dust-devils (or dust from cars driving?) in the distance, right behind her and to the left, I wish it were not there.
I love the colours in the picture. |

| I can't believe that anyone could give this a 1, 2, or 3. Or anything less than 5 for that matter. It's an outrage!! It was one of my two 9 votes. Congrats on your 4th place....it should have been first IMHO. |

| kinda makes me feel that she is snake and about to bite and lead me into temptation. But if this is a mirage, I have nothing to worry about.. :) Well, she is no mirage and this photo with the comp and lighting are great. Also lineing here up with the horizon with the hip works well too. Great eye. Oh there is a hair lose....wait that's a hair on my LCD...opps....Good Luck |

| DrJones, right? :-) What time of the day did you shoot this? The lighting is just perfect, but I know you probably used fill flash as well and possibly reflectors. Good work. 10 |

| Everyone else will love this, so take this for what this is worth: her face looks so perfect that it is almost fake looking (not a single line.) A little more texture on the cracked desert floor would also have helped. Other than that, this is tremendous, and the composition is perfect. -8 |

| Nice one. Her skin tones the match the colours of the ground. And if I stretch it a bit I could say that her makeup/eyeshadow picks up the blue the sky... Good perspective as well as a lovely model. Can't decide if you should crop the sky a little bit and put even more emphasis on the model. 9, bordering on a 10 |

I'm in love!
Nice contrast here between the scorched earth and soft supple skin of your beautiful model. Her skin tones are exquisite. I also love the lock of flaming red hair, but wish her left arm wasn't blcoking most of it. I like the way her body is positioned and that her head does not rise much abve the horizon, which creates a nice contrast with the distant mountains. |

| I believe I recognize this model. Like all your nudes this is fantastic work. I'm curious about two things: Is this done in the studio? If so it is an amazing job. Did you use Neat Image or some other tool to bring out a smooth appearance to your model's skin? The bottom line is that this image has great lighting, it has good color tones, it effectively applies the rule of thirds and you captured a good pose. Kudos to you for one fine image. |

| Nice idea but she's a little too solid and sharp to be a mirage!! - Still it's a great shot. Love the red hair and the constrast between her smooth skin and the dry, cracked earth. I'd love it even more if she weren't wearing makeup but that's just a pet pieve of mine since I wouldn't have makeup on if I were naked in a desert. :) - 8 |

| This one is pitch perfect. the lighting is excellent, the subject is interesting and well posed and the background is just out of this world. I love the overall composition. one of my few 10s in this challenge (which seems to have some extremely high caliber work). I hope you take home a ribbon! |
