I had a really hard time deciding on what to use for this challenge because my freind just looks so beautiful and innocent that alot of the pictures from this shoot would have worked in my opinion. Here is an outtake


Post Processing went something like this:
shaddows +1
Highlights +1
Levels
neatimage
usm
color balance
selective color
hue/saturation

hopefully i wont get burned for the pink hue...i just really liked it like this. The wrinkles in her dress annoy me but in basic editing there is nothing I can do. I went back and forth between nameing this her dreams or her curiosity because both feelings or whatever are portrayed by this i think. I hope it does well.

The lighting seems a bit off. Most of her body is dark while the left portion is brighter. Maybe a few steps back and to the left would have helped

like the story and emotive sense of this shot, soft colors and light work well together - one of my favorites this challenge

Beautiful, but too dark on near side - does not even need to be well-lit - a little shadow would have worked, but this is just too dark.

colors on the trees are good ... the harsh shadow on the girl is distracting though ...
