I love the theme of the colors here - the gold in the foreground grasses and the repeating color of the grasses in the background set off against the blue and grey of the water/ice/snow. The angle of the light really brings out the golden shades. I also like how the snow/ice in the water has the same angular shape as the grass 'plumes' in the foreground. Great work

I would have liked this a great deal more with better lighting on both faces. Nice pose and set up, but her face is too dark

love the lighting and softness - but I don't see shallow focus I just see the blur and nothing in focus

well executed use of shallow DOF - the lighting on the chain is very nice - but maybe slightly overexposed. still a good shot -7

nice perspective to get the face - but the lighting and color are not very good and the image seems too noisy

the lighting on her face is perfect. I would have liked to see similar lighting/ shadows on her torso - the belly is a little too blown out - still it's a great capture
