This is a modeling portrait of a girl from my school. This was taken in the sand on the volleyball court and has very little editing. I cleaned up the eyeliner a bit and then converted to bw. This was taken with direct sunlight diffused with a translucent reflector.
While I am not sure what I was going for with this concept, I wanted there to be a kind of calm connection between the sand and sleeping girl and am very happy with how this turned out.

Ya know, last week while voting, I saw this image and just knew it was yours. I rarely score unorthodox portraits higher than 5, but this was an exception.
WOW .. and .. WOW .. !!
unusual, interesting and oh so excellent ..
this has me shaking my head .. i wish i could express why i love this so much .. probably because it has a wonderful abstract feel along with the strangeness of it .. its the most amazing photograph and i love the b&w process .. did i say .. WOW . !!!..:)
A solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way presented in a very good conversion format. From an artistic standpoint, it is an intersting image but of less than universal appeal. A good entry into the challenge.
