Quite good

This shot has more to it than first meets the eye. The way the ripples in the water evoke the wave in her hair. The darker background contrasting w/ her well lit back and hair, and her darker front against a lighter background. Also the prominent dark line on the right that draws attention to her eyes. The amount of contrast highlights the different textures w/o going too far. Tell us, was this staged or was it a grab shot? If it was staged were some or all of these elements envisioned?

Angela

Thanks this was a pix I took just after a rain strom, she was just walking in the water in the street. Late evening light.

Fantastic...

I love this. It looks almost like it was taken years ago, like in the 30's. Her eyes, the way she is looking up, say so much to me, the mussed hair and the ripples. Great shot.

Happenstance or is her name, Fate, smiled upon you, Tyler, and us as well! This image is quite fetching.

Neat

Nice - looks like a 1960s picture in terms of style! I agree with the shape on the top right - would be slightly better balanced without it, but I'm nit-picking here...

Really cool shot. I even like the thing coming out of her head, cuz to me it looks like a circle that's behind her and makes for a nice graphic element.

classic

this photo does have that look of a photo from an earlier decade...and it has a beautiful level of contrast and graininess.

Lovely

A little angel and a well conceived image makes this shot a winner in my book.
