I love that 70s look, and enjoy the blankness of this.

Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: On the surface, this is an image that does little to impress - but somehow it really works. the 70's coloration, the precise composition, the 'casual' soft focus, the slight vignette - all the features add up and complement each other. Then there is the story - the gender and age ambiguity, thoughts of what is in the woods and the possibilities of the next few minutes in the life of your subject.

Critical stuff: Nothing at all.

Overall: I think this is pretty masterful - for me, you have transcended 'image' and have moved into story and communication. The technical choices are no accident, for choices they are - each made in deliberate service to the narrative you have crafted. Bravo.

I like the retro snapshot feel of this. Makes me wonder what this person is looking at and what they are thinking.
