KATRINA again..this time she's all smiles. Why? She can be herself once and for all (unlike in the "Strength" and "Waiting" Challenge). She's an avowed Purple Fanatic. She simply loves anything purple.

From the critique club:
There is a school of thought in the candid portraiture field that seeks to include the lighter side of our nature. There is no drama and no attempt to show the deeper mysteries. Yet many of these attempts fail because the facial expressions and the composition leave a lot to be desired. However, this particular effort is poignant, playful and caught at the apex of the whimsical facial expression.
The deep purple is even demostrated with humor with the arm raised. And then purple continues about the image in different shades.
Most impressive is the razor-sharp expression of the model with adept lighting made to look casual and therefore fit the image. It is unique how the highlights in the eyes adds to the light feeling. They are not your typical catchlights.
This is a fun filled shot with good humor and the viewer soon begins to crack a smile. It is like saying, hey watch: let me make purple fun.

Clarity is impressive. Awesome. Great subject placement and the background is just interesting enough, yet not overpowering.

This is a beautiful image. The lighting is ideal the depth of field is awesome. The Background works really well. The cropping and composition really enhance the subject. This is a top scorer for me.

I really enjoy this picture, and I'm not quite sure why! The model seems to have some "spunk." Good pose, and I like the use of purple.

I like her look, don't know why but I keep staring at her. Great! vote you 8 now, maybe a 9 or 10 later after I stopped "skimming"
OK and turned it into a 10...

Love her attitude and the way you captured her spirit. The colour, purple, is often quit cold as it is here to, but her expression warms the photo. I really like this.

Cute model, cute expression. A bit high key but that doesn't seem to be a problem here.

Excellent DOF and contrast :) Interesting smirk on model's face. Would've softened the light just a bit as it appears harsh on her face and in the reflection of her eyes.
