What an appealing image! This is a beautiful model, and you have captured a very initmate looking expression. The side lighting works well with this. Great eyes, and the eyes focused on the lens help to make the look seem so personal.

Very nice capture and PP on this one! It must have been a thrill when you first saw this on the monitor.

That is nice that you have combined photography with art in this image. I see in the artwork that there is another mountain to the right, just out of the image. I see that the jet contrail cloud curves to match the side of the mountain in the image too. This is a "feel good" kind of image. What a nice day it must have been.
With some post processing it could look very much like a good painting.

Classy image! You just missed getting it for the "fences" challenge. The fence posts are interesting.
This is a cold and beautiful looking place with the fence and horizon at just the right angle.
It looks like the sun is making steam as it hits the snow on the horizon.

Nice effect in the clouds.

Good timing with this image. The sun reflection in the water draws my attention to the dinghy, and the color tones are very tropical looking.

I like both. I don't see the lavender cast that Pedro mentions on this Mac monitor.
The only things I see to do would be crop the bottom a bit if it fits the printers format, and maybe brighten up the one tooth that is in the shadow of her smile just a little. The printer may do a better job with the toned one. Shallow DOF is ok with me as it accents the pixie eyes above the dimple in the chin.
I am just a casual observer in the studio field, as it is not my field of experience, so this is just my unqualified opinion.

Great pic of a 30's Ford. My grandfather had a 32 that he called "Leapin' Lena" that he bought new. I still remember when he gave it to my brother. We found out right away that it would do 85 mph by the speedometer.
Good job with the image. The moss growing on it is good for color in the image, and for the metal. The metal will not rust much where the moss is on it.
Congrats on the ribbon, and thank you for jogging my memory.

Ghost

I also seem to get these "ghost' images. I see this one very clearly. The image "Horsey Happiness" in my profile has one in the left upper area in front of a tree, of a native american with a rifle or spear. There is another in one of the Rio Grande pics that looks like a man fishing.
I makes me wonder what we are not actually seeing when we look at some scenes before we click the shutter.

A grand scene. The light, the fog, the landscape all work to make this image captivating. The border is ok. It sets the image apart from the white webpage background. Good Job, and happy new year! Great start!
