 My Niece was a great sport for this one. She was the only one with long enough hair for my idea. I got the added bonus of the fog because she finished work late. IF she finished on time I would have missed it. Very little editing just a small curve adjustment and 3-5%crop, DPC resize.

Interesting shot. The lighting is just a little too harsh and creates slightly too much shadow on the subjects face. Nicely done. 8.

This is a really neat shot. I think the backlight is too overpowering though.

the light on the chin is a bit distracting - the hair looks great

nice use of sun flare to offset subject. could have done it from a slightly different angle to nulify the harshness. Over all though I do like it.
