Last minute change. I had a better picture but the transparency connection is wanting. So, I am going for this...much to my desire to post the other one.
This picture is of my god daughter, Katrina. She is a real trooper. I shoot this in a parking space in the mall and she didn't mind the stares. I had to PP this fast to make it to the deadline.
I shoot this today...31st, Bangkok time. So I put the date of exposure as 30th.

I'm in a really difficult position here as I think this shot is one of the most beautiful images I have seen of yours so far.
Firstly the lighting, colours and composition are superb. The texture added by the veil adds soul, it adds a life to the image.....you feel as though you could reach out and touch her.
I've long been an admirer of your work, but this one.....like Judy (Jutilda) this one makes me breathless! Excellent work.
This left me breathless, this is definetly my favorite picture of yours and I cannot believe the place you got. Just a marvelous picture and fits the challenge so well...
Beautiful veiled portrait. I like how the earrings catch the light here and there. Beautiful use of shadowing and negative space to the right. What a lovely model!!!
I think the lighting here is absolutely brilliant. I particularly love the way that the face darkens from left to right and leads into the negative space.
Absolutely beautiful. Excellent control of settings and exposure. Most wonderful photography. Very impressive work. An image that deserves all the praise.
