Beautiful photo. Mix of numerous emotions and stories. Nice one.

Beutiful but a bit too soft for my taste.

I started out really liking this shot - nice golden tones, interesting pose and action capture. But, with a longer look, found just too many distracting things to it. The flying ring on a string, the strand of hair in front of her face, her open mouth, closed eyes, arms down at her side, massive hair behind her with only empty space of well-defined tendrils coming up from her head, spots of bluish in the background. That, combined with the overall blur to the shot really works against it, IMO.

Love the magic. Beautiful glow. My fave parts are the flowing hair and the flying necklace.

Softness works well here. Beautifully captured, I love the ring/necklace. It's as if something has hold of it and is trying to take it from her...

Good one -- sure to finish highly IMO. Hard for me to pinpoint what I like about your picture but I just do. Maybe it's the flying necklace!

Starburst. That's what I'd call this.
But why is that ring around her neck? My favourite part of this image is the curve of the necklace. It's wonderful. Also the angle of the ear rings. You get an 8 for this.

I like this. Even though I think focusing on the shoulder is a bit odd, this image has a lot of interest to it.

i like this image a lot. really captured the motions. i like that it isnt sharp and contains some blur.

revisiting: i bumped this to a 9, really well done.

Love the energy of the shot, but why are we focused on her shoulder?
 02/14/2012 10:20:29 AM
Pure bliss.

Very textural look about this - can't decide whether I like the swinging ring or not...

A sensual moment captured beautifully.

Love the concept and the colour processing! compliments
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/13/2012 06:43:16 PM
Awesome idea, great photo only thing I would wish for is the focus either centered on the ring or the face. Great work, good luck!

8, brilliant

Love that this isn't fully in focus. It really makes the shot.

This is fabulous

Good capture,like the colors involved.

I like how the ring on her neck is going in the opposite direction of the hair.

Fiery.

I like the energy of the shot but I think it sits between effective blur and being effectively sharp. Great coloration though.

This could be a great image BUT the focus area is not where it should be. I mean, maybe it was your idea to choose the shoulder but it doesn't improve the image IMHO
 02/10/2012 09:20:35 AM
very alluring shout, made my heart skip a beat.

Nice moment, but for my taste, the focus should have been on her face/eyes, not her shoulder.
