Thanks Judy - always a great compliment to receive a comment from you. Another one for the family gallery.

Truly an interesting shot. This wee beastie has such character and is sure to enjoy many DPChallenge modeling opportunities in the future. Just thinking perhaps that she looks a bit like the dog which had a cameo role in that excellent movie "In Bruges".... brilliant!

Ah I am good - this was my choice for blue or red! Had no idea it was yours though - had a thought it was DrAchoo...nevertheless fantastic!

Very interesting. I have looked at this a few times now - it has a Wondering aspect to it. A story is in this and Heida always tells stories in her images. With the advantage of Advanced Editing, I would have cloned out her swim suit tan across her back, to take her out of modern times and make her less of this earth. I expect you are also hearing comments about higher contrast... for this challenge yes - but as a lovely image, it's just right. 8.

Wow - expecting this in the top 5. Perfect rule of thirds, fantastic desat and a gorgeous model with dramatic hair. Great use of grain for the background.

One of my top 5 for the challenge. It's such an unanticipated moment in time - a capture of the unexpected. Lovely grain. A real tribute to Heida's "other" style.

A Story

This is one of my favourites for this challenge. Although traditionally awkward with the foreground figure out of focus, it does the job of leaving him something of a dark mystery and pulls the eye down the road to the child. The story that's unfolding goes far beyond the image and off the page. What I find unusual is the fact that he's looking away from her, and off to the left, behind him...so carrying the story further. The leading path ties it all together. Beautiful processing on the woodland too - wonderful light. Good Luck!

Sorry - came back to this. First gave it a 4 and then on clicking, realised I wanted a closer look. Having looked long and hard, I really love the processing.It is gentle and delicate. I think the reason I rushed on in the first viewing was that I was searching for a point of interest. It is a lovely landscape, the scenery is beautiful, but there is a lack of focal subject, or else is there no real path for the eye to follow... not sure. Anyway upped my score to a 6 and am contemplating a 7...

An amazing capture - not sure if this is entirely Heida-esque, but it should do well nevertheless. A very intense stare and beautiful movement in the hair.

Definitely a Heida poetry and moodiness... Beautiful composition and extra marks for originality and not replicating Heida's work.
