Rahul, Striking image...gorgeous! I do not feel it is over processed. The artist has control over the image and the rich, saturated tones work extremely well here. Roberta

Like Joe, I was thinking that this is overprocessed. As there was no asterisk (*) in the title, I kept it to myself. Now, when Joe, the Gentleman of Gentlemen, has been bold enough to say his honest opinion, I guess it's OK for me to tell you about my original thougts? Like I said, I think it looks overprocessed - not only in the water but also on the face. Looks almost solarized, and I suspect that there is some clipping in one or several of the color channels involved. Now, this could be intentional and according to your vision, but to me it really detracts from an otherwise fine image. --Olaf

Damn, I had a shot just like this but is was 10 times better, ok I'll stop dreaming now. WOW, very very good and a the lighting is top as is the model. I agree with Joe about the over processed water though, I am sure it was not like this last time I looked? Rob McG

Rahul: From the comments below, I will clearly be swimming against the current, but a thought or two. First, the concept, the composition, the lighting, and the position/expression of the model are top-notch. However, the water (?), particularly the main "column" and that in the hair, looks over-processed or somehow artificial(overly sharp, opaque, milky). Don't know if this can be tamed/corrected, but this is the first thing to strike me each time I view the image (and I've returned several times). Just one person's opinion. --Joe Reilly

Surely I'm not the only one to find this a bit, um, suggestive? I am? Oh, I'll just keep quiet then. (That doesn't mean I don't like it, though). Phil M

I echo the other comments here, however this looks like 'Chinese water torture.' Wasn't this painful? Yet an intriguing image.

Pretty amazing. Looks like one of those high priced ads.

Wow! What a great photo. I love the warmness of the lighting. The splattering of the water is great. Makes me wonder how she kept from flinching and blurring the shot. Very nice work! E-
