 The girls were getting ready for a night out and seeing as they were finally comfortable with me taking pictures, I just shot away. It was dark and without an external flash had to up the ISO and hope for the best! This one is my favorite of the bunch.

No please! Loose the can. I like the high camera angle.

Rather a dark and unfortunate environment for the making of a rose. Interesting concept.

Energy Drink + Hair Curlers = Rose. Now I get it!

I think the exposure is what is causing me to not go above the middle score range with this shot. Also the shadow on her face is a bit distracting.
