It's not "nit picking" to point out that the photo is such a loose interpretation of the lyrics, it really does not fit them very well.

The imagery of this photo is too vague. If you have to explain the symbolism, you've failed at communicating it.

The "rule of thirds" would have helped this composition quite a bit. Theoretically, the girl is your subject, but the clump of foliage is more the visual focal point. The extreme "minimalist" inclusion of the subject, combined with skates, makes her seem more an afterthought of a photo of greenery, rather than an interpretation of the song lyrics.

Great concept, but the staging of this composition is hurting the overall effect.
Too much of her cheek showing, not enough of the pucker. It doesn't really give the feeling that she's going to "kiss that frog," it looks like she could be whispering at it...

Interesting composition, but a bit too blurry, overall.

Nice photo, shame you didn't straighten the waterline - it tilts down to the left.

Excellent image. You've managed to make the graininess a vital part of the personality of this photo. Well done!

Cute photo, cute title, made me smile!

Very nice abstract feel to this. Great lighting.

Beautiful clarity, but this would have been so much more dynamic in color. Agaves are stunning plants.

Excellent composition. Good balance, and I especially appreciated the lack of intersecting lines at the horizon. Very well done!

Stunning. Great clarity.

The B&W makes the subject almost impossible to see, as the high contrast of the water contrasted against the dark foliage steal the focal point. I would never have guessed this to be photo of ruins.

Why is "lonely" paradise??? Sounds like hell to me..."Alone" might be paradise, but "lonely" sounds like one is missing company, not enjoying the solitude...

Beautiful depth and color, but the crooked horizon detracts from an otherwise stunning shot.

Wonderfully creative idea, well executed. Very cute!

great lighting, but the neck and hand are too "rosy" in color against the white of the face...

Great find, great shot!

Beautiful composition and lighting. It is almost like an abstract painting. This would make a stunning framed print. Wonderful job.

Part of what makes bokeh so successful is the contrast with something focused in the photo. While nice to look at, color wise, this really just looks like a terribly out of focus shot.

Beautiful clarity and depth to this photo. Great composition.

Excellent lighting and clarity. The visual texture and contrast of this photo make this an almost magical looking shot. Very well done!

Way too harsh an HDR effect. The halo around your subject is like a white outline, giving this an almost photoshopped "cut and paste" effect.

I'm glad there was no object in front of it. It would have detracted from the wonderful clarity of the shot. This is stunning and beautiful just as it is. Excellent capture!

A bit too heavy with the HDR, there is a strong "halo" around the butterfly.
But a beautiful overall composition.

Exquisite lighting, it looks very soft and romantic. Great capture.

Shame the bottom of his nose (it's not a tongue ) was cut off, but the clarity of focus is stunning. Excellent shot!

The color seems a bit too blown out. Did you enhance the saturation post processing?

Beautiful clarity, great subject, wonderful colors, with the subtle shades really showing nicely. Good job!

I've seen these a couple of times, they are amazing insects. Nice capture. I agree a better crop would have made this a much stronger image, though.

Wonderful shot, it looks like a blossom on the leaves. Nicely done!

Great focus for such a small and delicate subject. Well done!

Beautifully dynamic color and lighting, wonderful photo!

The composition could have been better, "rule of thirds" and all that. Your focal point is somewhat overshadowed by all the green foliage...

Beautiful wedding ring! Almost steals the attention from the glass.

Isn't really "in the hand," so much as "between the fingers..."

I like the reflection of the text on the blade, great capture!

Would have been even better with a real rock and paper...

Cutting costs?

A bit too heavy with the HDR, the "dark halo" top and right around the water tower, along with the almost too sharp foreground is somewhat overwhelming. A good capture, but "less is more" with HDR effects.

Beautiful capture, it appears almost surrealistic with the sky and the lighting. The clouds provide a perfect balance to the building and the water tower. Simply excellent composition.

Nice composition, but the HDR effect is a bit too heavy, with the clouds looking too grayed out, while the building is a bit too highlighted.

Great photo. The clouds look like a 3d layer placed on top of a backdrop image of mountains. Amazing visual!

Wonderful capture! The light rays from the clouds really give this a wonderful "ethereal" look. Well done.

Fabulous depth and values in this photo, very dramatic looking!

Wonderfully creative! Great composition, with a terrific mood created by the lighting. Definitely an excellent shot!

Very creative, with a good overall composition. Great fun to look at!

Really really too dark. Hard to make out exactly what the composition is all about...

Great lines, but too heavy on the HDR effect, it looks more like a cartoon than a photo.

The blue of the sky is a bit too saturated, and the tilting angle of the building lessens the impact of the image.

Nice composition but too over processed.

I would've been like mom. Great photo. Even though it appears to be a small scorpion, I would have seen it as a huge and dangerous monster...
