What a beautiful model! Your lighting and tones are amazing - both aspects add a lot of mystery and accentuate her features in a wonderful, wonderful way. Great job.

My general comment would have been - Capturing Zen Garden is not an example of Zen photography. But this one is different and is very well executed. The dash of man-made-structure actually helps in highlighting the natural background. FOr my taste, I'd have liked to keep the subject (Tea house?) a little more smaller compared to background. Infrared treatment is well done. Hope this does well for you.8.

This is great. Reminds me of that other shot with the lion pouncing in Best of 2005... I don't really care much for the border... Did you try to match the tiger's coloring in the border with some black instead of white to complement and help it pop even more?

Just an idea...

Nice work. Glad to see it was appreciated by everyone. Your humble approach to that 2-second argument has worked well for you, BTW. I thought I was going to hold it against you for a year or two - but this image at least, for me, cleans up the past mess...
