 This was the funnest photo shoot I've ever done. Summer and I are very close, so she's very comfortable in front of my camera. To get into the spirit of a shoot that ended up with her frolicking around in the water, soaking wet, we had a glass of wine before we headed to this fountain at the McNay Art Institute to play. Finally the security guards came and said we weren't supposed to be in the water. . .but then they admitted that they waited until they were pretty sure we were about done because they so enjoyed watching our fun :) Then one of them asked Summer if she was busy later -- tee hee :)

Whatever the score. . this was a photo and a memory I loved and wanted to share.

This is so beautiful and intriguing - I'm sure Summer must have been happy with it!

This is gorgeous! I'm envious of your beautiful model. Has a very dreamlike quality but is very sensual as well. Perfect location for this! Oh, and glad the two of you had such fun and that the security folks were kind enough to let you play in the fountain!

Woohoo a shot that gives all of us mortal photographers hope at DPC.

Its a great image and I love the leading line created by her veil together with the counterpointing of the backdrop and the girl

Its a top shot...

And yet it 'only' scores 5.7795.

Voters, who understands 'em?

Mind you I bet you would take that 5.7 because of the great fun that you had taking the shot rather than a 6+ for a studio one everytime

So glad you had a great time during the shoot. Thanks for sharing the story. The pose really makes the shot. Does look like a dream. Only nitpick is the bottom right looks too hot on my screen.

I am sure the two of you had a blast in the water. Very nice photo. She's quite beautiful and sexy. No wonder he asked if she was busy later.

One comment on this photo leaves free study a bit empty of true vision, a 7 from me no comment..

I like the view through the veil. Looks alive with emotion.
