This is a gorgeous shot! I would have given it a 9, maybe even a 10, had I been a (paying) member when voting for the challenge was going on. Great shot and a WELL-DESERVED ribbon!

Hey, look who captured a blue! Congrats Johanna - your model takes on an aspect of a storm goddess in this shot. She lifts her hand and the storm winds blow. The scarf partually obscures her face but I think that just adds to the mystery of her. We do not need to gaze into her eyes for we can see the power she holds. Great smoke work in that it takes on the look of a storm about to brew. The bold and vibrant colors of yellow and green really pop off the background. The colors are captivating.

Beautiful! I love where the light is coming from and the color comp. The green and yellow are gorgeous! I also like the inclusion of the rim of light on her leg. Very nice!

Very technical. Beautifully done. Top 10 I'd say.

A marvelous image deserve top places of SLS challenge.

Pure and simple has nice feel to it for me.

Such a pity we cant see more of the face. Still a nice image but that would have added a lot to the emotion of the image IMO.

Great color and lighting, I would have tried to get the scarf off her face

Smart shooting, creative thinking, top 3
Post actions
Great colors, great composition
Post actions
Action, Lighting, colors all good....8

There is a lot of space in the image. I think the composition might have been stronger with a lower camera angle looking up at the model. The wind and the smokey background strongly depicts the storm, but then the camera angle makes the model appear like she is just standing there posing... the strength of her resistance to the storm does not show. I like the green and yellow colors which pop off the background!
Post actions
Very impressive. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see this ribbon.
Post actions
One of the few artfully presented images in the challenge.
Post actions
Very clear that this is the winner of the challenge. Based on lighting and composure, I assume this is a Christophe entry?
