candid shot of a little girl who reminded me beautiful Ben's girls, in the middle of a bright day on the beach, with a 10-stop ND filter, and some panning motion
posthumous was the only one who commented on the odd heart-like vignette (especially noticeable in the thumbnail). It was not intentional, I did not darken the corners manually. At first I was not very happy about it, even thought maybe I should fix it by some dodging, but then kind of made peace with it, even found some romantic symbolism in a girl being encased in a heart that is pierced by the surf dagger :)

What a wonderful shot - I wish I had gotten around to commenting on all the photos because this one is fascinating .. she does, as others have commented, look like she has a tail --- what a story that could be conjured up in an active imagination regarding this shot .. it's excellent and I would have given it at least an 8.
I like the vaguely heart-shaped vignette in spite of myself. The form of the runner, combined with reflection, is quite intriguing, and I like how dark you went with this.
The beach, yes, that's Ben. But your athlete looks strange, and I'm getting dizzy. We've left Ben behind. But that's okay. I'm liking where this is going...
