    Very cool shot! Love the lighting. I'm developing a penchant for your hair-flip shots. :D

    Love the back lighting on this picture. The outlining of the figure and the stopped motion of the hair is perfect. Nice shot to boot-off the new topicbowdown.gif

    Nik,

    It's hard to tell at this size, but I think all those stray hairs above her face would bug me. How does it look at a better resolution? Have you thought about cloning them out?

    I would have liked to see her legs separated little more to make it a tad more dynamic! Definitely does look like sports ad!!

    Backlighting is great for black on black silhouettes, and of course, a large chunk of blond hair helps to create a bit of artistic chaos...:D

    David, I see what you're talking about. I'm not sure if it bothers me, but you can check higher res yourself. In any case, cloning them out would be a very easy job.

    You mean separated from each other, like having a stronger knee bend?
    Yeah, I can see that, I'm not sure if I have one though...ne_nau.gif

    One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation...I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards --- and, of course, the whip God gave me."

    Nik, the one thing that bothers me is the way her legs kind of taper off and are then cut. I'm thinking crop right at the bottom of her toosh. That keeps in all the awesomeness, and gets rid of the only (minor) nit. Otherwise...love it!

    I guess there is no such thing as a perfect crop in this kind of image ne_nau.gif
