very cool. makes me wonder what was going on in your head that day. the colors, tilt, and expression give it a very contemplative, and somewhat sad, feel.

Hey I know you...
Great shot considering you aren't being a goofball for once!

Your subject is straight, but the background is tilted. Not sure how to remedy that. Maybe placing the subject in a different place so that the land behind her would be straighter.

I know you! Nice diagaonal sense. Makes me think of my dad, who used to be a lifeguard at Huntington Beach back in the 30's. I like how your hoody ties into the color of the lifeguard stands. 7
