I think maybe to dark. You may be going for that effect, but if you didn't title it as you did I would think its a girl facing a brown wall

Firstly, I like it, muy bueno. Secondly, jaomul has a good point that the background is difficult to distinguish. Thirdly, the second point doesn't matter, unless it is vitally important to display a lake. The outstretched arms reflecting the same line as the lake edge is a nice touch. These lake photos are some of your best, (that I have viewed).

I'm on the phone and I'll reply properly later because my phone doesn't like tpf.

Just wanted to say it's not about the lake,I don't care about lake,I named it that way because it's the same girl and the same place...

Thank you

I kinda love it. she blends and I find it warm and artistic. Perhaps a bit less negative space but it's cool!

I kinda wish I could see it at a larger size, but then again, sometimes I think too many of us go straight to pixel peeping and we don't stop to actually enjoy the picture.

beautiful model. well toned. fantastic hair.
she really stands out juuuuuust right against the other similarly colored aspects of the photo.
i would love to see the SOOC shot side by side with this just to see how much work it took to get this look.
very nicely done!

I am really loving this whole set of lake shots! I hope you have more of them!!!

I love it! I just wish I could see it large, like 2x3 m or something like that. She looks like young Mother Nature (I met her once). It's really nicely posed, and I love everything about it. The dress is verly Gustav Klimt-like. Her pose is strong, and powerful. The darkness presses against her, but does not overwhelm her. So many different interpretations possible!

Very nice, you've maintained a subject that pops but kept a very complimentrary colour pallette. Nice framing, exellent shot.

At first I thought it was a wall. I looked closer and realized it was a lake. Your lake sets have been very nice. I like the mood and darkness of this. What settings did you use. Was this at night or did you PP?

I think everything about this image is spot on... EXCEPT... for the fact that she's almost dead-centre in the frame. Crop ~1/3 of the space image left and this would (IMO) perfect.

Sorry, John. Have to respectfully disagree. The central placement is rather key. There are two sets of separators: the land/lake and the lake/background which create the band of thirds. Her model's placement pulls all three together. The break in the symmetry is the dress, moved to the left by the wind. If you place the model at the one third line, the image loses a lot of its power (at least to me).

Thank you for your thoughts, I shouldn't have named it that way and I think I already replied that it wasn't about the lake... my fault

Thank you for your nice words, really!

Uploading sooc for you!

What is done in pp... mostly color adjustments first with replace color and everything else was with curves and I added some movement in her hair and dress

I think I do. Did some other shoots after and from this set I managed to edit just two pictures.. will see if there's something else nice enough to edit

As always, I enjoy while you talking

Had to google Gustav Klimt (yeah, I know nothing about art ) and yes, I totally agree.

That's my dress actually, I brought it because I thought it would fit nice in that particular spot.
