    Re: Lux

    I really like the concept with her standing next to the field like that. That part works IMO... it soft of reminds me of Oz. What I find a bit distracting is the washed out area facing the sun - wow that sun was bright that day (and I thought the desert was bad..). I would have also left more space above her head cause it seems a bit cramped there. Finally, I am not sure the moment of her looking down is best - it makes me wonder what she is looking at, but in a unsatisfying way, and I feel like I'm missing something important.

    What a gorgeous girl and a good shot.

    The tilt to the right bothers me a little but not too much. Perhaps a slightly darker sky, not too sure. It might distract away from the girl. I think they are more nitpicks than anything else, personal preference.

    well I what is funny I asked Lux to smell the flowers and all she did was tilted her head down. It was one of those you had to be there moments. I tried to soften the look but have no idea how.
