Superb image Lisa.
I don't normally like the washed out palette but it just totally works in this and the frame works with it nicely. Your processing work is close to perfect. You've captured HER, there is such a sense of her personality and individuality in this AND you've captured something more open, more symbolic or evocative. Just excellent art. More power to ya for seeing it in the field and for carrying it thru so wonderfully on the computer. Faved.
Peace,

I much appreciate all the comments I receive about my images, but please excuse me if I don't always reply. My interest in Caedes is exceeding my time available!
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

I hate cutsie stuff, but this is a well done compilation shot...unless you had some triplets playing. And a very determined look in the middle tops it off.
A fantastic, breathtaking image. It makes me unword. You did here an unbelievable job. It's one of the most beautiful I've ever seen because there's so much emotion in it. Great ! :)
Took your advice and visited the picture you suggested. Great picture,sublime colours,good composition and manipulation. Don't know how I missed it a few days ago.
