Thanks a lot, guys. Looking forward to see the results...
(1 year and 33 days ago)

excellent
(1 year and 33 days ago)

clean and bright...but with a mistake, easy to fix. The man`s reflection on the water is no good. Compare with the umbrellas reflection on the water. First you need to decrease the opacity.... second you need to change the displacement/distortion. I`ll vote after.
(1 year and 33 days ago)

Okay, Claudio. I've changed the opacity of the reflection and given it a little more blue color. I don't agree with you on the distorment. The ripples are not supposed to like the ripples from the umbrellas. His reflection gets distorted from the rings in the water, not the ripples in the water surface in general. That's why they look like they do. Thanks for the tips. Always nice...

i really like this one
(1 year and 31 days ago)

I like!

(1 year and 31 days ago)

Seems like a lot of people used my rings in the water...
(1 year and 31 days ago)

Nice chop, but light on guy is from our left, but light on bkgd is from right.
I would add some slight ripples in the shadow also.
(1 year and 30 days ago)

Vicspa: I don't think you are right. The light is coming from the left in both images. If you look at the umbrellas you'll see that they are lighter on the left. If you look closer on the sunbeds you'll see that the shadows are going right and up (in 2D sense, not 3D...). I've added a shadow to the gay as I changed the reflection (as Cludio said). It has the same direction as the shadows from the sunbeds...
(1 year and 30 days ago)

Took closer look, and you are right, take back all I've said exept for the nice part. I should've known better when it comes to your chopping.

Good reflections.
Good distortion.
Good colors.
Looks like a top3 entry to me.

And by the way...girl has a good body...

Missing one thing....the ripples on the water.
see entry "Rings-in-the-water" (also in this contest)
(1 year and 31 days ago)

Very good one !

(1 year and 31 days ago)

very nicely done all the way around
(1 year and 31 days ago)

Like the idea. Some adjustments are needed though I think. The distortions look wrong. These very small but very determined lines look wrong. It would be all over the reflection, not just here and there. And they don't follow the ripples from the rings in the water, of which there would be two (Two feet you know...). Especially when she's walking. It's by the way a little misplaced. It's center should be at one of the feet and it isn't. Your reflections is too dark as well. And seems to be a little misplaced too. Look at the feet. Try to fix these things. Shouldn't be too difficult...
(1 year and 31 days ago)

Hope you can use these advices. And by the way: a source for the rings in the water? Would probably help your score as well...
(1 year and 31 days ago)

I see you edited your entry....very nice
(1 year and 30 days ago)

Excellent
(1 year and 30 days ago)

Thanks all for the comments and cheers beveha for the advice much appreciated.
(1 year and 30 days ago)

(1 year and 30 days ago)

You are welcome. Hope you (and others) can use it in the future. Have a lot of fun. Nice entry by the way...
(1 year and 30 days ago)

I don't agree with everything beheva said, but she does have a great body.
(1 year and 30 days ago)
