Deborah in the "tunnel" at Gasworks park in Seattle.
Pretty sure I'll get killed for breaking the rule of 3rds & strange composition, but i never play by the rules ;O)

I had a ton of good choices from this shoot, but for some reason this one stood out.

i love the way the architectural elements frame the subject, but once we "get there" the subject is kind of blah. (not the person themselves, but as an element in the photo).

a shame she's so hidden in that jacket (where are her hands?)!

Like the perspective here, wish you had darkened some of the shadows and lightened some highlights, especially down the left side, the lights and darks I see there could have made a real impact if they stood out more in my opinion. Her face is just a little out of focus but I think with more dramatic lighting you wouldn't notice this as much. Maybe more highlights on her coat at the crease in the arm and also more on the front of her jeans. Overall I like the picture just think it could have made more of an impact with some dodging and burning. Hope you don't mind me saying so but really thought this one had potential.

This is really a strong image, and I love the leading lines that frame the person.....

I like the single flower (looks like) behind the model, as well as the framing.

I love the symmetry of the posts. The girl looks as if she's cold rather than tranquil, but overall this is a very nice image.
