Yes, very strong elements... a girl staring at her missing hand, mind running wild with ideas on how to work around this little setback. She seems to be taking it very well and almost enjoying the challenge! :) It's a great story shot - just clone out that little triangle of skin that connects the wrist to the leg and it will look even more realistic and then the story really holds. Could be used as in inspirational poster for children with handicaps. It does really work in that context. :) ~ Lonnit

Thanks Lonnit. I would expect no less. 8-) The lack of hands troubled me also, But, I thought it had strong elements that made an interesting picture.

Kind of unnerving how her hand looks amputated. The composition unfortunately emphasizes this by leading the eye right to it via leading lines and brightess. Sorry Lee, but your work has been getting too good lately so I can't let you get away with this! LOL! ~ Lonnit

Thanks Techo. She is not much of a model. She always think a great picture only requires one take. Mine usually that 30+ 8-)

I really like your latest of lanscape style crop photos. (*) I agree with Jano, it would be nice to get a clean profile or see more of the right eye.

Thanks all! It was unposed. I did turn her to get the light right. But she kept spinning around. 8-) theFly

Nice, soft, panoramic, looks unposed (whether or not), lots of good elements here.

Lovely lighting & my favourite natural type looking shot. Good work Lee.

Lee - did you put her in a time out on purpose? :) What we won't do for a photo lol. Really beautiful photo here. The lighting is wonderful with the window there, shadows and all. I kinda wish I could see more or less of the right eye. jano
