I love the perspective and lighting from the right. I wonder if you were on a higher floor or used a ladder? Such a dreamy photo. Congratulations, roz!

Congratulations, another perfect image. Your model is wearing makeup, they are growing up! Super image! My favorite of the challenge.

Nitpicking on a very very high level: I'd prefer it if the umbrella was rotaed a tiny bit so that the little knob ot the opening mechanism wasn't pointing at her throat.

thanks so much for your lovely comment Barbara .. xx
and i never noticed the little knob at her throat till you mentioned it .. bummer .. lol .. :(

I thought I recognised the model Roz.

To me this was a picture of hope, a sprinkling of rain, but hoping for more.
