I like the coloring on this, and the use of backlighting/silhouette.

I have a daughter that lost her baby (my first grandbaby) just a couple weeks ago. it seemed fortunate that the loss was early in her pregnancy, but the pain is still there. Loss is loss, regardless of when. Thank You Sonifo for the wonderful expression.

A wonderful shot:) the sepia works well here and the young lady does give the feeling of joy. I feel the spirit of the shot. the one thing that hurts this for me is what appears to be extra fabric hanging from her dress. still an 8 from me:)

Sonifo the background to this photo is so sad, I really didn't read the decription before. It must have taken a lot to enter this photo, I admire you and wish you all the best - Gary.

Oooh this is lovely!
The contrast between the silhouette and the striking, cloud-filtered sunlight is beautiful!
Position of the little girl within the frame doesn't feel quite balanced and the position of the knee/ leg at the lower right looks a little strange - might be better straight down like the other leg.
Poles at lower left are a minor distraction, not a real problem.

Levis and Lace

Comment by Kavey:
Nice shot and nice colour choice for the tint. I can't make out the lace.
Composition doesn't work so well for me - too close to edge of frame at top and not far off centre enough to work as a non-centred composition, for me.
Man, you got nice legs...

Sillhouette and sun work wonders here! Looks kinda like Wyoming!

I like the lighting here. The soft gray shadows add "color" to an otherwise monochrome image. This approach to the Round challenge is a reminder that roundness is a matter of perspective.

this is amazing, you have really mastered you tonal adjustments. Very dynamic framing. Did you do some dodging and burning?
