nice composition. love the strong diagonal from upper left to lower right. the duotone? processing helps to emphasize that, and also makes the background less distracting. I like this photo.

A Walk in the Woods

What I like most about this is that the noise and clutter of the vegetation makes it seem aggressive and adds a sense of scariness to the shot, but there is also a sense of supreme confidence in the girl. Scariness + confidence = Adventure!! Maybe that's why the quasidesaturation works, because it gives it a pulp-novel-cover feel.
