Ok, so this is from my first payed photoshoot. Since I don't have a studio, lenses, or even a tripod right now (can't find it) I decided to go the park where there would be ample light. Most of the shots are pretty normal, but this one just looked so different and pretty. My friend said it looked like one of those Skyy Vodka ads and I have to agree. About the grass in the middle, I didn't want to risk cloning it out in the little time had to edit but I really didn't think it was THAT distracting because it gave the illusion that the plants were growing around her because she had been sleeping for so long. I also thinks it anchors her and I tried cropping it out, but she looked odd and detached, so I left it in. Anyway, I did an advanced editing version and I do prefer it without the middle grass, but I think the grass on the left and right has to stay.

She looks so peaceful, lying in the grass, calm, I love the grass here, otherwise she would be floating, unreal, unattached, fake, but here she is anchored, holding tight to this place we can only escape not with magic, but with science. We can't really levitate, we can't really fly, and you've not tried to tell us she is doing either, she's just lying there, happy, blue sky overhead, eyes closed, content. That's the biggest word that comes to mind for me here; content. Lovely image lovingly presented.
Great image. Interesting decision to leave the grass in. I would have not, particularly along the middle front, quite distracting. Lovely light, and skin treatment.
