This is a deserved winner nice lighting idea and chosing the right girl for the shot. she also deserved to be photographed more. thanks for sharing and idea with us.
I am from Portugal, an old country of sailors( Not anymore). Maybe that´s way we like so much the sea, and we give new worlds to the world.Anyway, we still like the waves. and those ones are so mysterious and beautifulls, that even drangons we could defeat.
Excellent job.
Kind regards.
This should have made the first place. Nice composition and soft approach. The back lighting could be 1 or 1.5 stops darker, but overall you made good use of natural window lighting.
