Kostas, this is great!!! The perspective very fresh and inviting for the eye from the thumbnail. Excellent colour and light, a fantastic shot all round. I may have been tempted to clone out the small trees, but they do not detract too much from the shot overall:)

Love the unique perspective and colors and tones are good. A minimalistic composition has helped a lot to keep distractions down too. Nice work.

Fantastic image...i'm so glad so many other people think so too! What a great view point, unconventional but very effective. Stunning colours, I think they really make the image. All the best, Katy

A new perspective, with a wonderful triangular composition. The colours are great. The light works well to give the feeling of a hot, sunny day, without being too harsh. The fact that your friends are good-looking (I particularly like your friend on the left :-) ) further enhances the photo. It's a very good image.
Now to the question why it's merely 'very good' and not 'excellent'.
1) The crop that chopped away a small portion of the man's hand and shorts is too tight, as has been mentioned by Bjorn.
2) As to the problem of where they are looking - as it is now, the lady is looking somewhere beyond the photo, whereas the man is looking towards the camera (or so it seems). I think it would have been better if BOTH were looking either at the camera, or away from it. In fact I think I'd prefer the latter case.
3) The final issue are those trees growing chaotically in the background; they give a rather absurd hairy-leg impression :-) with regard to the man; and also the bits in the lower left corner and the tree touching the lady's leg do not help the photograph.

Great composition with a very special point of view. Of course, the point of view makes the picture here, and it does it well. The colors are really good, with a very nice contrast between the deep blue sky (did you use a polarizer for that?) and her very nice legs. What I pitty is that her shirt isn't a bit more open, so that we could see more of what is underneath that. Woops.. did I just say that out loud??? ;-) Just kidding, the shirt is just perfect, otherwise you would get another type of photo, which would destroy all of the good things of this one. Wht I do think that is a bit a pitty, is that she isn't looking down a little. Like this we are looking up her nose, which is not that great (her nose is nice I believe, but not looking at it like this), another thing is that her eyes seem to be closed, which I also believe would be better if they were open. Concerning the guy in the background, I feel you cropped a little too tight there, you cut of a small piece of his hand. On the other hand, please do not take a look at my photographs, because they are not nearly as cool as this one ;-)
