Great photo for the lyric. Nice comp, but I don't think the white borders help.

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: Very unconventional portrait and so very, very well executed - well lit, well shot, well processed.

Critical stuff: I hate looking at the image; I'm the most anti-smoking person I know and I've seriously struggled to look at the image for as long it has taken to write the comment (I know that must seem strange to a smoker).

Overall: Very good work albeit one I really, really don't enjoy.

I like the smug expression. Great light that softly wraps around, too.

Very wintery feel here. Good placement of the tree and I like how you don't notice the houses in the back at first. I don't like the top black line, it makes me feel boxed in and with the wide open white sky I wanted it to just go on and on.
