Interesting starburst, artfully deployed and integrated into the overall image. Fine, moody atmosphere.

Love the blue tones and the backlight of the sun. A pity the top of her hair is blown out.

Nice effort, and I like how your face is lit. But in terms of starlights you should have used (a) much smaller light source(s), I think.

OMG, I'd fall in seconds. Insane heels. Cool shadow, though, and I like your composition and the shadowy darkness.

Good picture. More than just a picture. It tells a story or at least makes one think about the rest of the scene, the situation. The colours and the light and shadow really create an atmosphere. Best in challenge in my view.

lol .. i like that you made an effort ..
so did i about 7 hours before this went in for voting ..
the lighting in this is magnificent .. you are definitely a magician when it comes to lighting .. and other stuff too of course ..
the starburst makes me think you're looking a bit too relaxed .. look out behind you ... it could be the arrival of aliens .. !! .. ;)
anyway .. its a wonderful image for the challenge .. :)
i'm not voting yet .. :)

I've never understood how shoes like this can even be worn. Nice capture and good lighting. :)

It's not the greatest starburst of the bunch, but I love the light on you, Larry.
