 Got the idea for the 'Defining Feature' challenge, but didn't get a chance to shoot it until too late. Probably would have done better there with the original title 'Her favorite season: Autumn'.

i'm bumping this both for the shot and the seemingly endless patience of your model.

edit: this looks just like another model who has been put through a lot...

great hair display but the face is too brightly lit and the expression and skin tone do not really match the playful mood of the hair display

Great idea and execution. Very creative! Love the green smooth background. This is like a collage painting. It would have been nice to have one of the leafs just pale green.

Another love me or hate me photo, I hate that, it's difficult to comment on.
This is very different from all other shots in the challenge,, I think it's takes a lot of guts to send in a photo like this. It's strange and funny at the same time. I think you might see a lot of high votes and around the same amount of low votes, but by the way this photo is composed I guess you didn't take it for the score.
I think its good and I like it...

Our local botanic gardens is using something very much like this as their ad campaign. Great Minds!

A little weird concept, but very unique. Compelling enough to rate you higher.

Really great and fun idea. I like all the different types of leaves in her hair. I have to nit pick a little though, hope it will help. Her chin should not have been cut off and I would have liked a more centered - horizontally - composition. I know it was difficult getting done what was already done and I wouldn't want to even attempt it. Beautiful and patient model :)

The idea is good. Good lighting and interesting background. My only nit is that the chin is cut off.

well..... interesting.. i'll give you that. it makes me think of a peacok... i think the cropping on the chin is a little tight. nice expression thought.. perhaps a little softer lighting would have been good.

Humorous and a great fun idea. Seems a bit out of focus to me. It could have been a intentional thing tho.
