    I really like 5, 6, & 7 for the same reason I likes Joel's. Cheryl does not appear to be outside for no reason she is in the environment and it is adding to the image. She is complementing the natural forms and the natural forms are complimenting her. It is something that can't just be done in a studio.

    Fantastic! #1. something about the relationship of the tiny figure, the flowing delicate material and the massive rocks (especially the one with the hole) is so striking. #5. The light source and the way it describes her form, and the smooth skin contrasting the rough tree texture- stunning! #10 Again the extremes in scale and the way the forms walk you into the distance. This was not the result of some happy accident. These are examples of the kind of art I would hang on my wall, live with, and get to know day by day like an old friend. :whew

    Brad, thank you for noticing! thumb.gif
    That very concept (not shooting "just because", but have the model as a compliment to the landscape/nature and vice versa) was absolutely intentional, Joel can attest... :-) deal.gifwink
