I don't know enough about Ben's style to comment on that aspect of your photo. However, I really like this shot and the possibilities it has for so many stories . Why is she walking through a field in such a delicate dress .. is she taking a short cut to meet someone? I love the sepia, the delicate edge of the dress, the foreground bokeh - beautifully done.

Grass and legs -- two for the price of one. I like the harmony between the two.

Beautiful. I love the mix of textures; the grass, the toule of the dress, the more defined, darkened trees in the background. My only wish is that I could see a bit more of her. Specifically, her feet seem 'amputated' by the tall grass. Howeves, if the viewer saw her feet, it would prolly have destroyed this particular vantage point which i dig. This comment is more of a thought, less of a critique... hope this does well. :)

lovely textures. the footless ballerina... with that title, I get a sense of fragmentation without a foot, a rather poignant effect.

One of the best I've seen so far, captures his style nicely. If it was a bit more contrasty it might have helped - 7

This is certainly a tribute to Ben. I love her net petticoat hanging underneath her dress. That hint of leg and the grasses - aaaah, summer. 7
