Solemn and moody, always a good thing when you do that so well with light and shadow. Excellent photograph!

I thought I had commented on this shot already, its in my favs. In fact when people come over and I show them my photos and Dpchallenge and I show them my favorite shots, I always show them this one. It just makes me smile and brings such a comically honest portrait to what can be a generic style of photography. It has brought the elements and honesty of street photography into a wedding day atmosphere. superb.

Meh.. you just think she's hawt ;) lol

Kidding..seriously great shot P. I agree the cigarette adds to the shot. I really like her position in the picture with the free space behind and away from where her body is facing.. it gives a sense of the moment.. and her expression is interesting.. in that its hard to tell what she is thinking.. a little mystery is always a good thing.

*edit to add* I just ran across the thumb and Sassy is what came to mind.. she has sass in them there peepers of hers.

could totally be an ad for a magazine...

I quite like this, you can feel the moment, the cold beers, hear the laughter, the reflections are great on the bar...

feels super candid which is awesome. ;)

yeah, pretty cool. For a blink of an eye, she has an "Emma Thompson" feel to her face. Love the editing - tonal range is perfect.

For me, the lighting, composition and cigarette make this shot. It has a bit of an old Hollywood or moviestar feel to it. Without the cigarette it may not have worked at all... Did you shoot this with available lighting or did you use something else?
