Whoa, pretty cool. Were you purposefully going for a fish shape, or did you name this piece after you took it?

Her expression looks kinda weird, with her lower lip jutting out like that - she looks really tense. Also, I'm not expert on photography, but the lighting on her right leg looks a bit off, it makes it look really skinny compared to her stomach and other leg.

razzell2 [2009-07-11 12:03:33 +0000 UTC]

its not her facial expression....its just the way the light captured her face at that moment.
certain aspects of her face remain unlit, and i think thats why your getting this reaction.
i dig it. i think it rocks.

Not to sound like everyone else but I agree, the model's face kills it.

i have to agree. her facial expression couldve been better. it doesnt fit the mood of the photo well. but the picture of the water is amazing great experiment though

Her face looks strange, almost unreal, as it was painted.
But the water effects are amazing.

i think the makeup up to (and is that higher/past the eyebrow) i think its too much, like it goes too far up, i dont think it should meet with her eyebrow, just my oponion, if it even matters..

I just want to know how you get the shape of the puffer fish, Fairy, and bird, or was it computer generated.

But I will say the face is not working for me, everything else is great but that.

PinkFireFly [2009-07-05 19:30:53 +0000 UTC]

I know it's hard to keep a straight (and even smiling) face when you know you're going to get hit with something. So maybe you could have let her have her eyes closed to be as relaxed as possible? I don't see anything wrong with having her eyes closed; it wouldn't take away from the picture. Actually, I think it would make the picture more calm, because her expression makes this picture look very 'aggressive'.

Nice coincidence though on he fish.

awesome how it all came together to create such an... interesting image... I guess her expression could go along with the apparent physics difficulty of achieving such an arrangement of water?

So I must ask, how'd you get it to shape like that?
Was is mere coincidence? Did you manipulate it? I'm most confused!
