great result Kel for an excellent photo

I knew this was a roadrunner number. I recall looking at your website and if I'm not mistaken there are a few shots of this gorgeous girl in your portfolio.......Aside from the fact those socks looks distinctly Australian! A heartfelt congratulations on the Top 10 finish. A truly amazing feat given the calibre of photography that I have seen in this challenge. Hope you're proud. Nic.

this is beautiful..which is your usual standard I believe...well done..
Post actions
Great pic, the composition, focus, perspective and the colors are wonderful. One of my tops.
Post actions
Been there! Done that!...Except for the Miss part. :)
Post actions
ah yes, I see you are once again making use of your most willing model. Great color work.
Post actions
Great shot, hope you score well
Post actions
Superb lighting, subtle burning, lovely use of colour. I like the low viewpoint. Overall, a very strong photo, with good mood and emotion, that I rate highly.......is this Roadrunner?

I like everything about your image, but it's those sneakers that keep drawing my eyes away from more interesting points of your photo. All I can think of is Ronald McDonald's shoes - or maybe it's the striped socks.
Post actions
I like the use of D&B for its dramatic effect in the image - though I do wish I could see the girl's face a little better.
Post actions
Post actions
looks pretty heavily manipulated to me, but an interesting shot nonetheless
Post actions
Cool surreal colours! The shoes are a bit too bright compared to the face. It seems to me you used a lot of dodge- and burning, so you might have lighted up tha face a bit. 9.
Post actions
Freakin cool man. The color and tones are fantastic. Very good.
Post actions
I really like this but to me the colors in the bg and brightness in the sky takes my eye away from the subject.
Post actions
A real sense of teenage troubles here. Great detail, lighting and DOF.
Post actions
A stunning image! Really stirs up the emotions! 10/10!
Post actions
I like this, excellent comp, excellent dof, color a bit satureated, light good, blacks need tweeking, whites ok, nice lines, emotive, overall have a print available
Post actions
What a beautiful scene, and yet, such sadness as well. Very well taken image, so well done.....Quite moving and emotional.

Lots of dodging and burning? Nice idea and the image has potential - not sure I like the selective desaturation.

Wow, the colour pop, and the light is great, nice job with the tones.
Post actions
Definitely some major color manipulation here. Please share?
Post actions

Very nice --- the shoes, the socks, the jacket, her expression. I'd like to see her mouth and it may be dodged a bit heavily along the left side of her face, but that's just being picky. The clouds and the light give an eerie sense of foreboding... almost a Wizard of Oz feel.
Post actions
Post actions
i really like the colors and the composition here i would like it better though if her face was more lit..
Post actions
I really need to learn how to get this feel to my shots. Excellent! Bumping to 10.
Post actions
Post actions
the colors and lighting draw one's eyes down to the shoes...but the subject seems to have an intruiging expression on her face....just can't see it too well
Post actions
Wow, what a emotional impact....really like this shot...10 & a Fav...Good Luck.
Post actions
wow...you really do a great job of capturing her emotion....10
Post actions
Verry beautiful cromatics, I like this alot. Beautiful and expressive scene, 10 from me, good luck!
Post actions
The feelings just ooze from thi photo. Most excellent.
Post actions
One of the best in the challenge. 10
Post actions
Your title fits the image. Well done!
Post actions
Excellent composition! Beautiful job with the post processing...the colors and tones are just right and perfectly enhance the mood that you've conveyed so well in this image. An inspired depiction of pre-adolescent angst, underscored by your very fitting title. A top pick from me!
Post actions
Great caption for both the background and foreground images. like The brownish tint. It goes with the theme
Post actions
Best pic. really love it. Nice colors & editing.
Post actions
bumped way up for look and feel ... a real delightful, thought provoking image
Post actions
Wonderful! A dark Dorothy returns from Oz, to find Kansas a lonely and bitter place.
Post actions
great colouring! ummmm me thinks its road runner?
Post actions
Very nice! I remember being this girl. 9
Post actions
Bumping this up. The glow, colours and textures work together wonderfully to give the "wow" factor and create the mood reinforced by your title.
Post actions
This is excellent. The processing gives it a very dream-like quality. Something about the composition makes her look like a giant! Hehe :) 8
Post actions
Love her shoes and socks! They say so much.
Post actions
Emotive capture and great title. Good dodging and burning here as well. I like it a lot.
Post actions
Such excellence, bumping up to 8.
Post actions
Enthralling - both landscape and person.
Post actions
i love it...one of my favorites!!!!
Post actions
Nice sensitive subject. Just a little bit too much dodge and burn IMHO. Good shot overall
Post actions
Very emotive shot. The darker colors and lighting really add to the overall mood. Love the contrast between her socks and shoes.
Post actions
superb - and I hope to see this as #1
Post actions
the dramatic angle and dramatic sky overshadows the performance of your model, thereby making the photo seem staged. Of course it IS staged, but it shouldn't SEEM that way.
Post actions
Stunning. Love the look. My only question is why is the sky in the distance in color when the rest of it isn't?
Post actions
Beautyful shot and very expressive.I really would like to know how did you endup with this nice colors?!It's only dodge&burn or there is more to it?
Post actions
You had a full year and THIS is the only thing you could come up with? Sheeeeeesh.
Post actions
I love this photo, the socks, the shoes, the scenery. Nice work!!
Post actions
Dorothy realized that her converse all stars were not ruby slippers, and if she tapped them together, she would not end up at home, but back in gym class.
Post actions
Surreal image, bold color, plenty of drama here, well done.
Post actions
One of your better shots lately. Great as always.
Post actions
Damn this is a GREAT photo....I hope you do really well! 10 :)
