I love this shot. What hurts is that I have been meaning to shoot a similar concept. I look at yours and glad I did not make mine because you took the cake here. Oh yes, after looking at this wonderful study I will reposition my idea and what I produce will use yours as the benchmark. Good work.

The Purple Spirit!

From the critique club:
There is a school of thought in the candid portraiture field that seeks to include the lighter side of our nature. There is no drama and no attempt to show the deeper mysteries. Yet many of these attempts fail because the facial expressions and the composition leave a lot to be desired. However, this particular effort is poignant, playful and caught at the apex of the whimsical facial expression.
The deep purple is even demostrated with humor with the arm raised. And then purple continues about the image in different shades.
Most impressive is the razor-sharp expression of the model with adept lighting made to look casual and therefore fit the image. It is unique how the highlights in the eyes adds to the light feeling. They are not your typical catchlights.
This is a fun filled shot with good humor and the viewer soon begins to crack a smile. It is like saying, hey watch: let me make purple fun.
