Nice work Paul, normally "square" is not a classically artful crop, but here, the hand placement and expert contrast in the context of the odriew style work perfectly.
I like it - excellent light, soft and muted colors, very well composed and pensive environment portrait. I might prefer a slight lightness boost near the girl's face, though.
Really like the vintage feel to the processing, using some blues in the shadows is a great technique! Wish there was smidge more light on her face though which is a little too dark for me.
Wow, I really love this. That warm sunlight illuminating her hair is just beautiful. Her body posture, the gaze and blurry hand make it appear like a genuine snapshot of a moment during an intimate afternoon walk, instead of something that is posed. As far as post-processing goes, this is my favorite of the bunch. Just the right amount of warmth and glow. I cant wait to see whose entry this is. 9
