 ...complete with some random guy in the background :D

What I like about this shot in particualar is my super-awesome-$6-gas station-sunglasses. I like the line of the reflection and of course the little twinkle from the sun setting. I also like the fact that one lens is so much bigger and darker than the other and makes you read across the photograph left to right, which is also helped by the motion of the blowing hair...Other than that it's kinda bland, I don't like the lighting on my face and the fact that I didn't smile more. Oh well, it brings back good memories of going to the beach after school on a GORGEOUS day in half moon bay with my friend. Fun times.

I like the fun and energy of this. I like that you can see your eye thru one lens. Also the starburst on the sunglasses is cool.

The lighting may not be perfect but I like the natural look and the move of the hair. You can't help your eyes though drawn to the guy (I think he's just a boy) in the background. It has a cinematic feel to it.

Cool sp Leah :) My inital thoughts were that I'd like 'you' to be sharper (face and hair) but now the softness is growing on me. Your left eye and the sunray are great and make this shot. Not sure of the border and might consider cropping from your ear and losing the vertical part of the frame from left and right. Sadly though that would lose the lovely curve of your neck (and think I should stop there lol).

(Another lost comment, a brilliant one too). The segues in this are splendid: dark lens to sparkled eye view lens to hair to rocks and tiny figure. I am full of envy for how the background is background but most complimentary, and yet because your face is so prominent with the eyes/shades they almost set up the background as the "view." The hair is a most unusual and attractive way to transition to the rocks.

This is really good! I like the fact that the guy is in the backround and the look on her face gives this a feeling like she is ready to pull some prank on the guy. Like she is telling me to look over her shoulder at the guy she is going to go mess with, very funny.

First impression - great composition with nifty fun details to discover. I like the sun in the glasses and I really like the random guy on the beach.

Love the sun star! Great job doing a direct sunlight shot and NOT blasting out.

Capturing the reflection of the sun in the lens is perfect. And the shot tells a story. It's obvious that you're enjoying a beautiful sunny day at the beach. Very cool self portrait.

My favorite parts are the sunny little twinkle right there near your eye. It gives it a whimsical feel. And I love the teeny tiny guy in the background. The smile makes you look at peace. I don't think it needs to be more. I think its awesome.
