The Tide Is High
Blondie
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one

I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no

It's not the things you do that tease and wound me bad
But it's the way you do the things you do to me

I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one

Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear 'til it's my turn

I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one

Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear 'til it's my turn

I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one

I used to say I hated 80s songs And suddenly I find my mp3 player full of them! Ah well. I'm glad you like it

Great choise of title I must admit when I saw the title and the photo together the 1st thing that popped into my head was that song, before I looked down and saw that was the inspiration.

You asked for critique, I have a few thoughts which you can take or leave. 1st, like your choise of model. She looks like she's standing strong and tall, despite wind and the waves rushing in towards her. The stormy seas and sky are a good choise and in keeping with the song.

If you can center the light source over her rather than the centre of the page I think it might help put the focus more onto her. You've cut the model out cleanly and blended her into the water well, it looks like she's meant to be there I like the splashes of foam you have coming up around the bottom of her dress, makes it seem realistic.

I'm not certain about the birds. I guess it depends on the look you were going for. If it's a kind of surreal look or if they are representing something, maybe elaborate in your description? Just from a personal viewpoint, there's so many birds that I find them a little distracting and would probably prefer to only see a couple in the background (but again that's just my oppinion).

Nice piece, congrats

Thank you so much for taking time to look at my piece and critique it. I really appreciate it Sometimes I'm too close to a piece after I've worked on it for awhile, so I can't figure out what's bugging me about it. I think you hit it spot-on.
