Description This is one of the many test shots ive done for my new photography college project... I dont think it is anywhere near a final piece - So i am adding it to deviantart just for advanced critique to help me improve this... any technical help would be appreciated.

Edit: Done alot of work in photoshop and i think it looks alot better, opinions please.

Oh Photoshop I havnt changed alot - All I have done is up the contrast alot and done a fair amount of dodging on the background to make it white. =]

this is a great shot..i think that the whole yellow bit might be a little...overwhelming though.

Wow this looks really good. I've never seen anything like it. It is sort of "too yellow" but overall it's good

Advance critique, hmm, the only thing i can point out is that the "Yellow thing" is nice, but the background may be to bright. It is really a nifty contrast from black to white/yellow/really bright.

I really like it better now. I agree that the orginial was a terrific concept, but now that you have played with it in photoshop, the real beauty of it is coming out. I love the contrast and the colors.
And I can understand the black on top might be a distraction, but it isn't for me. I think it adds to the photo.

I really like it like this. The original was a good concept, but with these effects it becomes more abstract and I like it a bit better that way. The black water looks really neat, and the yellow colors are a cool touch as well.
I don't know if it would be an improvement, but see how it looks if you crop off the top bit (the little strand of dark in the background). Like I said, it might not make it better but it might give the white/black more power.

I agree with the cropping of the dark part at the top. If you scroll the page down slightly so you can't see the top, you can see the improvement.

You study photography at college ?
Omg,that must be so cool !
I think the photo is very nice,maybe you can play a little with the color in Photoshop and a little more blue maybe will be good,but i don't know .
Amazing photo,adding to faves ) .
