Wat to go young lady, THIS is, in my opinion, your best photo in your gallery.

This is a wonderful capture and in B/W even more impressive. I like that background of thick clouds and the composition on the whole.

She does look like she's in the deep thought ... the B & W suits the image nicely & also sets the mood. Excellent work Susanne.

Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the 'ah-ha'. Ernest Haas

I like this B&W as it shows different textures around the girl - cloud, water and decking. Lovely capture - well done!

Well, Susanne this is certainly one of your best images!
You've created a wonderful, and an other strange world
and the girl is mabey thinking:"Stop this world!,I want to get off!!!
Threatening clouds in the sky, all that in B & W, it is very
impressing!
My compliments and a 10 in the VB!!!

With all the rumbling in the background I can hear her stomach growling. I thought I heard the wind pick up as well. Great post Susanne and I like the B/W in this one.

So many B&W textures, yet they don't overpower the main figure... she does look like she's very contemplative...

The detail is most impressive in this emotive capture. The beautiful backlit trees and dramatic sky seem to serve the subject so well. And what tonal range you have managed. I agree with others Susanne, this is maybe your finest work yet. Kudos

Susanne, agree with Philip above. I think there is something magical about this picture, but I can't say exactly why! I do love that effect with the clouds though, is that HDR?

I love this portrait of contemplation, but I think a little too much emphasis was put on the clouds and reflections. It competes and wins over your main subject.
