I love the perspective and lighting from the right. I wonder if you were on a higher floor or used a ladder? Such a dreamy photo. Congratulations, roz!

Congratulations, another perfect image. Your model is wearing makeup, they are growing up! Super image! My favorite of the challenge.

Roz,
You are such a versatile and creative photographer. This was no doubt the Blue Ribbon. Congrats!

I love the expressive eyes and that there are waterdrops on the umbrella - that enhances the feeling of hope as Anita already mentioned. You can't guess though if the hope is for more rain or for the rain to stop.
Nitpicking on a very very high level: I'd prefer it if the umbrella was rotaed a tiny bit so that the little knob ot the opening mechanism wasn't pointing at her throat.


thanks so much for your lovely comment Barbara .. xx
and i never noticed the little knob at her throat till you mentioned it .. bummer .. lol .. :(

I thought I recognised the model Roz.

To me this was a picture of hope, a sprinkling of rain, but hoping for more.
