Atmosphere

Usually when I see models photographed the background is plain so that is doesn't distract from the main subject. This background certainly isn't plain but instead provides a wonderful context for this both colorful and atmospheric shot. Perhaps the background alone, if shot right, could make for an interesting image. I love the tonal contrast between the red top and the green foliage, but also the combination of blue moon beams and orange lantern light. Beautiful.

I love this image. Its frosty, just a little bit misty and definitely rather spooky. The wooden boundary to the path enhances the already strong leading line. I think the remaining few copper leaves add an interesting touch of colour. I'd been interested to see what the scene looks like with a few more leaves remaining.

When I first saw this image I wondered whether it was a Photoshop composite. Even if it had been it would still have been a great image. To be able to capture this composition, with this lighting, in this fog must have felt like a true blessing. I love the subtle grey/brown tones and the way the Egret is ascending is magical.
