Sleeping Beauty-Expert Editing

I think I like it more with the grass - like you said it anchors her. Without it the crop looks a little odd - maybe instead of cloning out the grass you could try cropping it higher(??)

I like her pose here- very natural. The light is perfect. I might try one of those dumpster things soon. :)

I love this one much better than the edited one. With the hair cloned out doesn't look as pretty and natural.

What can I say ?? How could this possibly have ended up with a sub 6 score and in 196th place ?

I honestly think that in big challenges lot's of photo's simply get 'lost'

and presumably your last commentator meant to give a 10 and missed the '1' off ??

Comment by Bruce_the_Robert:
She looks so peaceful, lying in the grass, calm, I love the grass here, otherwise she would be floating, unreal, unattached, fake, but here she is anchored, holding tight to this place we can only escape not with magic, but with science. We can't really levitate, we can't really fly, and you've not tried to tell us she is doing either, she's just lying there, happy, blue sky overhead, eyes closed, content. That's the biggest word that comes to mind for me here; content. Lovely image lovingly presented.

Strikingly different. Love the crop and the clear crispness of the shot.
