I took this portrait during lunch time completely unprepared.
To me this is an example of pure beauty. You can see it in her eyes.
I thought this would be a good picture for this challenge because I keep staring at it every time I see it. Pure is the best word I can find to describe it.
Behind this beautiful face there is also a pure heart. I hope you can see that too.
Thank you.

Stunning model, stunning photography. Love the composition, with just the right amount of negative space to make for really comfortable viewing. You must have a real rapport with your model - the way you have photographed her, you make the viewer feel as though she is looking directly at them; a very intense, intimate look.

The first time you receive a VCE comment, randomly choose five (5) images from this challenge (or another challenge) and leave quality, useful comments/critiques like this one. Make sure to mention good things as well as bad things. Then, see how many you receive in return over the next few weeks. Make sure you copy this VCE notice at the end of each comment. [Obligatory chain letter threat] If you do not make five quality comments within 24 hours, your hard drive will crash and your camera's shutter will fail at an inopportune moment.
