This is an incredibly captivating image. The lighting and subject framed by the red is just awesome. I love the natural look without tons of processing, my favorite so far.
Ultimately, a photograph isn't about settings or rules or even tools. Ultimately, it is a vision and a moment come together. This is just such a photo. Funny, I just talked myself into thinking this is the best photo in the challenge, but I've already given blue and red to two stunning photographs, so all I can give you is all I have, which I give gladly. The Posthumous Yellow Ribbon.
Love this. That's either a very little girl, or a gargantuan cat... Very moody and perfectly fits the challenge, although the top and bottom borders really feel unnecessary.
Wow, what a gorgeous little girl. She has an incredibly powerful classic look to her. Those eyes are captivating.
At first I thought the image didn't do her any justice, but maybe it does. Maybe that's partially why she's so striking. I simply don't know what to think.
