Nice photo. Very dynamic but the focus is on the softer side. Was it deliberate? Posted: 07/11/2024 20:24:18
The sepia toning adds to the mystery of the pose. Great image. The rock face is a bit distracting and could be toned down. Posted: 07/12/2024 13:39:18

I like this one a lot. The composition looks strong and deliberate. I appreciate the juxtaposition of softness (diaphanous dress, hair --> wind) with strength (shoulders, hands --> rock). In particular, I like how the hair and arms break out from the overall diagonal composition to lay along horizontal and vertical lines that mirror each other.
I am curious about the choice of exposure. If this was hand-held, you must be rock solid! I do like the blur you got in the hair, but wonder if you could have opened the aperture up a couple of stops and gotten a sharper focus at ISO 100.
If you allow yourself to do spot removal, consider removing the spots from her left elbow and finger below. Posted: 07/15/2024 21:59:32

Good suggestions. I think tripod mounted, but shot from quite a distance with a long lens. Posted: 07/16/2024 03:20:52
