#9: Background Investigation

For this round lets focus on setting the scene. Lets see some great portraits or candids with fantastic backgrounds to accentuate them. I love landscape & urban photos, but my favorite is when you have a glorious background with people in the shot enjoying it. It could be a posed portrait or a candid of a person doing what comes naturally. Make me want to go there...and be the person in the scene.



All your entries go here! You can start posting now; this challenge will close on the 1st of July '10. See also the rules and information and the challenge chit-chatter threads.

That's pretty cool! For that scenery I see a shot with a women, with a lot of green makeup (a bit on the edgy side maybe), the woman being close so it looks like that 'plant-thing' is attached to her head for some reason. That's just me though

For what it is worth... I almost picked Kris' photo. If the theme weren't a "wish you were them" thing and the subject weren't PG... lol.

It is a great day not to be PG. Been there, done that... don't wish to do it again....haha.

She sure looks as though she is enjoying herself though. Gorgeous photo.

And thank you, Heather. I happen to know a few PG ladies, so maternity happened to be fresh on my mind. And I agree, I'm happy to be done with those days!
