This is a beautiful image! Very well deserving of a ribbon.
A bit of advice and I am sure someone has already stated it...
I find myself only looking at the upper left hand side of the picture because of where she is looking. Feels a bit cut off on the left side. Try a landscape composition instead of portrait.
Wow... my first ribbon. It's red for the red beret :) And, she is indeed beautiful.
Thank you all for loving the picture and also for the great comments. I found them all very helpful.
But, you know what I just did. I sent the wrong picture for original submission. Gosh, I'm just too shocked with all this. I tried to re-send it already, so I'm praying hard now that I can keep this ribbon.
My favorite so far!!! I love the soft whites, and it sure doesn't hurt thatyou have that flawless, gorgeous face as your model! I really love this one! 9
This is a lovely image, I like the choice of colours and the softness is excellent. The only distracting thing is the horses nose tucked behind the 'models' shoulder (IMHO)
Definately one of my favorites! Love how the red pops with the other neutrals/whites. Perfect soft focus. You did a great job at portraying the dreamy look.
I know the focus of the picture is the girl, but I'm a horse person, and I'm sorry if I sound to critical. I think the picture would of looked more pleasing if the saddle pad was clean. If it is a clean pad, I would of tacked up with a white one.
obviously, your model is stunningly gorgeous - which probably means half the work is done for you in this case ;) the mix of the soft focus and the near depth of field is really effective and adds a very real sense of physical depth and distance to the picture. i'm in two minds about the horse; it's a bit weird to have him in this sort of shot, but then horses are very dream-esque sort of creatures, and that, i suppose, again suits the soft focus. also not entirely sure about the pose; seems more street attitude than the country girl peasant the attire and environment would suggest... just my interpretation i suppose. i also like that hat; the inclusion of the splash of red works for me against whites and greens. visually very appealing; 9.
ps: i'm not going to join the hordes and mention the spelling of beret, i'm too nice to do that :)
