I have always so wanted to capture a shot like this. Either you have to be in one heck of a lightning storm, or be very patient, huh? Beautiful job! The grain is nice too.

Whoa. . .what a cool photo. Such a great stop action. I bet he would love to have a framed copy of this.

Inner Strength

Powerful image. II am particularly drawn to the culture and time this photo represents. It's one of my favorites. I love your use of sepia, and I love the expression on her face. Great job. My only suggestion would be to maybe not center her so straight-up-the-middle. Maybe have her off to one side -- adding the rule of thirds interest to your photo. But I really love it anyway!

How beautiful!!!! This is one where the grain really does enhance the photo. It's the type of wonderful photo that never ages. You only have such a brief time that you could capture a photo like this because they grow so fast. You will treasure it forever. Great job.

This is awesome. I think I would have liked a much closer crop, with just the hands in the photo -- but that may be just my personal style. But I still love the photo. It's very strong!

What a wonderful composition. I love the vintage feel to this. . .and she is such a beautiful model -- so comfortable looking in front of the camera.

This is my favorite so far! You did an EXCELLENT job on composition -- colors -- and making just the right amount of grain on the right parts. I would love to see this one in the winner's circle. Good luck!!! 10

Yes. The grain belongs here. This looks urban, old timey and very appealing. I love it very much!
