This is the second of the three shots I mentioned yesterday, though in this instance this is Rhowan rather that Harmony. Of the three, I think this is my least favourite of the set, but I'd be interested to hear what you think.

And if you're interested, the original is here:

I'm no expert but I thought this image looked rather ordinary? I guess that doesn't help but you did ask :/

YETi: yes, I guess it is, but given that a lot of my shots of Rhowan are a lot more dramatic I'm happy with this one.

Shots don't have to be dramatic to be good - it's a lovely study of a lovely subject!

I like how Rhowan looks rather reflective. Beautiful photograph. : )

She is so beautiful, and looks very mature and melancholy

feather/hair nice. :)

really? this is your least favourite? i dunno ... there's something in rhowan's expression here that i really like so, for me, this is better than yesterday's shot.

It is unbelieveble the many faces of Rhowan and the way you can frame all of them! Love the textures of the pic (jumper, lips, hair, skin, feather, light) and the way her hair moves against the wind and the feather moves against her fingers. Simple, natural, Adorable. Well done.

Amazing light tones, good job!

Never take the familiar and commonplace for granted ...only you really know whether this reflects the personality of Rhowan ... but it looks pretty natural to me ...she looks an OK kid to meDave.

Actually my favorite of your three latest. I like the light and what she is doing.
