Shadow Girl

She was not ready for this photo.

Well she might not have been ready but you were and that is what counts. This is a really great image. Very strong use of light and composition and timing.

Im glad she wasnt ready. I really like this photograph -- the (sun)light on her face and body is excellent for creating the right mood, and outlines her jaw wonderfully, and you did well to expose for the highlights.

 

I only wish the image didnt have so much grain and/or noise and compression artefacts. The thumbnail image in your post to the Unified Forum is so small that this is not visible, and the creamy smoothness (particularly on her face) works better for this image, I think (I was stunned when I saw that thumbnail). Would love to see the original print.
