Such a stunning image. I love the composition of this image. The way you've captured half of the face under the water is beautiful. I really like the distorted reflection you've captured on the surface if the water, and the highlights on the models face really make it stand out as the focal point of the image. I think it would be really interesting to see what this image would look like taken from further away, so you just have the model surrounded by water; however, I really love it the way it is. You've captured a really unique and original image that fits the brief perfectly, well done!

This image is so beautiful. I love the sepia tones in this image, as it makes it look really vintage. Its such a unique shot that I've never seen before. I love the use of the fabric to add a sort of haze over the models face, and the positioning of her body in the bath fits the image perfectly. The use of the hand above the head (and the position its in,) adds a certain elegance to the image. I really like the way you have the model looking off into the distance, as it adds a layer of mystery to the image. You've perfectly captured the brief in this image, well done!

I love everything about this image. The way the actual image is hazy and misted emphasises the warmth of the bath fogging up the camera lens. I love the pose that the model is sat in, and I really like the positioning of her hands. The way the model's looking of into the distance with the relaxed facial expression she has adds a certain elegance to the photo. By using a shallow depth of field, you have the focus perfectly on the models face, with the rest of the image in soft focus. The colour of the dress perfectly matches the colour of the rose petals, giving the image an overall feeling of warmth. I love the way you have some of the rose petals cascading down the models arm, and I really enjoy the angle this photo has been taken from. This is such a unique image that captures the brief given perfectly. A massive well done!

I love this photo so much. The way you have one model staring straight into the lens, and the other looking down at the other model is very creative and adds some nice angles to the photo. By having the water cloudy, it adds an element of mystery, as you can't see what's happening under the surface. The models themselves look very elegant and beautiful, and I love the different angles of their bodies. I really like the way the one model is holding the flower in her hand, and the way the flowers themselves frame the models in the water. The pastel colours of the flowers really compliment the complexion of both models, and they add a certain softness to the image. This image is simply stunning, a massive well done!

Brief

For this contest, I would like to see portraits of people in or above the water. Whether that be a photo of a models face in a bathtub of milk, or an underwater shot of someone in a flowing dress. Be as creative as you want, as long as the photo fits the brief. Good luck!
