Just curious, Heceta Head lighthouse in Florence Oregon? It looked familiar.

Can't vote, but looking through this challenge for inspiration. I like this portrait because it looks for natural, not forced as far as having the eyes closed. I like the lighting, very soft. I also like the lighting that hits her shoulder, gives it nice depth. This portrait makes me wonder what she's thinking, reminiscing about... This portrait is telling a story...

I can't vote, but wanted to look through this challenge for inspiration. I like this for the lighting, the hard light and shadows. I like the hood as a "prop." This portrait has a sense of drama and tension. Perfect portrait for this eyes closed challenge. As a viewer, I can imagine or wonder all sorts of stories this portrait portrays.

Drinks on the House

Alcohol... the root of all evil. Or maybe it's just the house (666 coincidence? planned?). Nice spot.

This is pretty cool. Interesting to see the path from both sides.

Great shot. Just curious, saw that you used your D90 instead of one of your FF cameras. Any particular reason why?

I really don't peruse the member challenges as much since I can't vote on them. With that said, yours would have been my top pick. It's gritty and really reminds me of a Mary Ellen Mark image from what I've seen of her work. Everything hits the mark for me. Your oldest really has that attitude look; props to her.

There were a few that stood out for me, but this one made me think "whoa."

The lights (planes, moon) are mesmerizing. I'd like to see more when you get to try this again. I think its pretty cool.
