I really love that I was able to achieve this kind of lighting without advanced editing. Using a high contrast red filter in black and white conversion rendered her skin blemishes invisible and the sunlight coming through the trees created the dark splotchy light which creates the mood here. The hair that is in focus on her nose bothers me SO much but, basic editing, what can you do. I like this picture of wanjun a lot but I don't expect it to score all that well. 1.2 aperture creates such a smooth creamy look to this I love it!

A gentle, lyrical shot - but I keep trying to brush that one hair off the screen!

This has a very classical quality to it, almost like something Weston or Cunningham might have done

I like it, but I would like it better rotated to the right for the title "Sleep".

This will be one of my favorites along with what appears to be a sister photo. It appears there is a little strand of hair across her nose that really doesn't add anything.

This one almost speaks quietness.

Is that a hair across the bridge of her nose?? Too bad, otherwise a good photo.

There is a mark,possibly a hair? on the bridge of he nose and just the slightest reflection on the tip of the nose.. Apart from that this image is wonderful.

Maybe rotate the picture 90 degrees to match the title might have been neat.
