Longing

Nice!

A very nice image.  I would assume she was PP in, shadow work is quite good.  My only comment goes to the title; she seems more Brooding (questioning) than Longing (hoping for).  But alas, that is just my opinion and may not be shared by others.  Strong work!  Best regards...

Dave,

Titles of work are spur of the moment for me and hold little significance, so feel free to think of it as brooding instead. At the moment of titling I was struck by the idea that she was longing for better weather to take a swim in. I do take issue with your assumption that she was PP in - while there was a good bit of post work on this (and all of my images), I don't add someone to a location - I get out and bring the models with me.

Excellent edit on this image, I am loving this

My apologies Norm.  As I stated, I assumed, and we all know about assumptions.  I was lead there by the somewhat cut-out appearance of her body and hair against the sky (sharp clean edges, no to little fly aways in the hair).  My compliments to the model as well then, on what seems then to be such an uncomfortable perch.  It remains beautiful work none-the-less, and I like it very much (6). B/R

Beautiful colours and composition. Great lighting and spot-on exposure. Well done.

Dramatic stormy picture.  Might be a scene from a Wagner opera.
