The old-fashioned scent of a woman

Thanks for all the helpful comments, everyone. When I looked at the other entries in this challenge, I immediately thought to myself, oh, no - mine's so dull! And that's pretty much the response I got from all of you: technically sound, for the most part, but uninspired.

Considering that this was the first time I tried using a white background and really focused on lighting, though, I'm happy with the results. Now that I have a better idea of lighting for white-background subjects, I can try to be more creative when I decide to shoot them.

Nice shot! I like the effect you used. It's so hard to capture stuff like that clearly, when they're whipping weapons around. But sometimes the motion blur works, like here. Good job!

Nicely done! I think the border would look better if it was the same as a mid-tone color in the feather.

What a terrific action shot! Love how you stopped the motion of the water. I think this photo might be better suited for a different challenge, however.

Beautiful shot! I just wish that verticle line wasn't there.
