Great image, MAK. No way is it a 5.6!

This is a great image mate no idea why it didn't connect with the voters but it's in no way shape or form a 5.6 shot :(

I thought about something like this. I'd have been tempted to crop closer on her face, and perhaps wait for the mud to dry more, but that's me. It's a very good shot nonetheless.

while reading the other comments, I saw every adjective that came to my mind when looking at this marvelous photo...haunting, stunning, alluring, beautiful....like another person who commented...I would have never guessed your model was only 14. A simply beautiful shot....Kevin

Hey Marac! I'm not a big fan of HDR (maybe because I turn out rubbish) but this is just WOW! well worth the blue and, imho one of your better works. and, look at the curves both in the image and voting, I don't think I've seen another image with 5 being the lowest vote though am sure there are some out there?

There has been mention of no people in the shot but I agree with those that prefer people to give life to the image and would like you to visit sometime with tripod (if allowed) and use a longer shutter to get tome motion blur inn the peeps.

I don't click the fav button often but feel compelled to with this shot sir!
