    title suggestion ?

    This was shot yesterday , it was a chore to finally agree on a time to go to this place, and 5 mins into it rain started, I got worried about stuff getting wet, cloths and equipment, then I made the mistake of shooting at to low a speed, then thunders started and I called it off

    Still managed to get this shot ...

    We were driving one car, she a friend and me, still she changed into dry cloths without getting undress, all that in the passenger seat while I was driving ... I'm not that flexible and might end up dressed like superman with the underwear over my trousers

    Should I do something with her back ? I don't quite like it ...
    any title suggestions?

    Thanks for looking!

    Armando - Interesting pic (and write up) there. Some comments:

    - She stands out against the background quite well.
    - I would have liked to see a tad more area below her feet as it almost seems like they will be cut off. You could balance the top and bottom negative space, but I like that break in the tree line at the top.
    - The slow shutter speed looks OK to me. Why do you think it's a problem?
    - Looks like you added a vignette: this is good as it makes her stand out.
    - Like the tree behind her.
    - In all I think this is a success, though a few of her looking out into the distance, with intense confidence, may have been good too.

    Thanks GB,
    the slow shutter caused me to blur too many shots, this is the only decent one

    I like the vignette to, it should have been the result of the lens being wide open, I did not add it,
    or maybe the result of having a flash on her ?

    Yes a bit of more space under her would have been nice ...

    The rain dripping across the viewfinder was distracting :blush2:

    Title: Morning breeze.

    I don't mind the neck. I like everything about this shot. The only thing I might do, and only if it's done flawlessly, is removing the tree on the left. I think this shot becomes better without that.

    Excellent shot!

    How about Misty? I do think it needs a crop but it's a great picture.

    I think she should be closer to the right frame (right now she's bullseye).

    Ridding the branches may not be a bad idea. Her back? Photoshop can help.

    I like her pose.
    Like it somebody said before, she combines very well with the background. I would like to see more background and no ground, but for that, you would need more wind to lift the fabric.
    The tree branches should not be there, but I feel like they give something to the image.
    I would remove the hair on her face.

    Thanks for all the comments!

    I have been busy and haven't got to edit this again

    Pete, she did get really wet, the dress material remained as seen here
