Engage the viewer, is what I learn from your photo. The framing, the composition, the processing, all aimed in one direction, to attract and engage the viewer. She is a fine model and thank you for including all the processing notes. I will give this s shot.

Botox? Nah...

Challenges are such a pain - they can stand in the way of my appreciating a photo. So I tend to come back much later and look for shots that stand out from the pack - and yours does indeed. Just to think that toothbrushes used to be made of pig's bristle... lovely photo.

The Way Home

Comment:
Would be interesting to see this image on a full size basis. The ISO and aperture you used are fairly extreme. It must have been a rather dark night.

Comment:
By way of addition to my comment on your inquiry about stock submissions at iStock, after looking at your portfolio here: Images like this one might well be rejected by iStock because there is a significant crackdown going on with regard to photos that do not have property or model releases. Any model (even back views) or property depicted that is in the least bit recognizable should have a release form uploaded.

Well that flash does explain a lot. I thought it was just the sunshine shining out of your you know where, man. ;-)

You're a bit late answering your fans.... But I'm glad you dug this one up. It certainly is a visual treat. The bracken brown and the grey are rich backgrounds.

Jason, with a Dad like that I bet you have some great photos in stock... and sausage too. I've never tried that type, but it sounds pretty tasty. Congratulations on the ribbon.
