 This is kind of a last minute entry. I just saw the challenge today (the day before deadline) and HAD to do something for it. I had no model, just myself so with my tripod and my camera set on 10 second timer I managed to snap off a total of 14 images before the kids became unbearable. I doubt it'll place very high, but I thought I should try anyways.

I love the composition of this image. A rounded triangle and nice diagonals with her head and body. Excellent work from the model, too.

I really like this one - it has a film noir look to it. There are some nice visual clues within the photo that invoke the feel and mood of sadness. First off, the B&W tones help - sadness can be conveyed with color or in this case lack of color. Devoid of happy colors or distracting colors the mood can be subdued - sad especially of the main subject invokes that feeling. Along with the choice to go with B&W, the model is hunched over with eyes cast down - body clues that speak sadness. We see the trails of smeared and running mascara - she has been crying. Even thought stereotypically tattoos speak of toughness of character her poise and her face speak of a moment of frailty - a moment where sadness has overwhelmed her. (Not voting)

Perhaps staged...but done elegantly.

To me... the 'anorexic-ness' (is that a word??) of the model adds to the sadness... 7
