I think it is a wonderful photo. I'm not bothered by the DOF.

Reminds me of the famous National Geographic photo of the Afgan woman. Great feeling!

yes eyes...but very good shot tho

Idem that before : the DOF is too short but the portrait is amazing !

very intense picture...great job!

very nice work. Great technicals. I would have stopped down to about f/45 with a medium format. But this is your picture not mine.

There is not much I don't like about this image...the tones are intriguing and the way the flowers seem to be floating lend to an awesome capture!

Thank you Rachel to have expressed this criticism sympathetic on this photograph :)

Mais !?... je ne l'avais pas vue, celle-ci...
Félicitations en tout cas !

Congrats on the feature, pixim!

Lovely image. That kid's born to be a rockstar :D

I think this is a great pic. The kid is so cute! And I love that you can see the palm trees in the reflection.

love the composition and tones

Wonderful picture! Movie star in the making!

I don't usually care much for photos of children, this is very nice though.

that's me - taken by my 14 years old nephew Patrick

I absolutely love this! Awesome composition & DOF!

I'll have to admit to thinking this was my shot...and wondering why I forgot that I post it.
:)

Beautiful. I love ice shots, I hate ice storms, but I love the photo ops that come from them!

thanks all for your comments!
@Ana - where is your shot?

nice one! all the signs and shadows, well done!

Perfect photo. Explendid moment catch. Congratulations.

Thank you all for the critiques. Yes, this shot was a big luck !

Pixim said the water is too "hard". I had a critique on another site saying the water was too "soft", that's why i made it harder !!! I really prefer like that.

Thanks again !

Incredible shot ! excellent timing, congratulations !

So, who lost their footing first?! This is a competition winner if ever I saw one. Another fave.
If I had any complaints, it would be the blown highlights in the water.

Who could ever beat that shot? 4 of them?
Just great capture.

Ooops, I meant "Bling" :-)

great shot! looks like 7am or something, after a hard disco-night :-)

Excellent.

Thanks everyone. Stefan, that made me laugh because this was taken at 3 in the afternoon, she probably slept at a friends and was making her way home when I took this. :-)))

congratulations for the feature tracy, very well deserved. loved the picture at first view!

Superb development of the B&W. Cheer. Greetings.
