I don't understand some of the responses here. Some of you are displaying your ignorance. This shot is not edited any more than usual, and this is not a "painting". This looks like a really well done hand tinted black and white photograph. What is the big deal.

Even if this photo were only in black and white, it would still be a really good photo. It displays emotion, which is probably one of the hardest things to capture. Heida has a very good eye for photography, and is a very good photographer despite what some of the comments say.

As far as the comments go about being an artist as opposed to a photographer, that is a major compliment. Hopefully we will all graduate from just being a photographer to becoming more of an artist.

Nice work Heida, always look forward to seeing your work.

Despite what most have already said. I truly think this is a great shot, and Love the symbolism. This shot can be pointing out any number of issues we have, or had with our country. That is what makes it a really great shot.

Great kinky implication. I like the contrast of the harsh metal of the handcuffs against the soft flowers, and feminine background.

Great eye flow. The jagged steps make the shot interesting.

Really like the layout of this shot. Partially because I am biased towards cemetary shots.

I really like this shot. The main reason why is because of the emotion it portrays. Alot of the portraits are just that, a portrait. But it looks as though there is something on your mind, or just a deep thought. The environment/background is interesting as well. I like your work.

Gorgeous girl. I think definatly Stuff Magazine. Playboy would work if the outfit was different, and she had blonde hair.
