Hmmm. Now that I think about it, a common criticism from when I started out 12 years ago was that my images lacked contrast. I gradually added more contrast and started favoring higher saturation a while back.
For these particular photos, it was my second set of graduation photos taken in the same place, but two years apart. I knew I wanted to get more contrasty and saturated and that I would have the opportunity to shoot some more conventional stuff.
The light was a bit crazy in the first place we started, but I tried to work with it. Of the over 1,000 shots I took, this one was one of my favorites. Hard to say why.
Thanks for the insight, Lava. I'm learning something new every time...then I forget the basics ;o)) Everyone seems to have that certain, recognizable, personal uniqueness which makes a photograph their work of art.
