very nice clean shot author with great title....gl

While I agree that this is a very clean picture and the subject matter is very appropriate I think that there is too much going on. My eye wants to move towards the woman, but at the same time it keeps getting drawn in to the pirate flag due to the various pointing devices (the pole in her hand, the ropes attached to the sail, etc.). The coloring of the building in the background is also somewhat distracting as it too closely resembles her flesh tone.

An easy solution would be to simply crop it in tighter, thus eliminating the flag and the majority of the building in the background.

Still, as it stands this is a very nice piece. I love the emotion you get from the woman and the title fits her very well. GL!

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me..
Great shot!

Don't think I'd regret hangin' out on my yacht, either
