She awoke that morning, and looked around, stunned, but not entirely unsurprised. She had known for some time that something wasn't entirely right with the house that she had bought. Something was strange there. The noises she heard, the things she had glimpsed out of the corner of her eye.
Yes, something wasn't entirely right, but it hadn't felt entirely wrong either. So when she woke, and found herself sitting up to the touch of a fresh and fragrant breeze, in the middle of an open field, it didn't entirely surprise her, and she somehow knew that she wasn't in New York anymore. |

| Looks like an oversized bedroom to me. Nice contrast of material, bed, and nature browns. |

| Nice idea. Not sure about shooting through the branches, maybe a wider view with more of the landscape would work better. Great looking model.8 |

| Interesting pose, but don't care for the obscuring branches. |

| Good shot and lighting. I like the outdoor idea...it definitely raises the score. |

| interesting composition; IMO the bushes/branches in the foreground distract from your main subject |

| I think the branches come a little too far over, but I think this is an interesting shoot, natural and staged at the same time. |

| I like the way the branches obscure part of the images - I just wish they didn't obscure the whole image. Somehow the branches make the image seem more real, and less posed, which is excellent. This is a fascinating photo. |

| The context (waking up in a field?) and the stick to the throat hurt this, sorry. |

| A really unusual and original image. It does make one ask a number of questions (not least, what is your bed doing in the middle of the countryside?). Seriously, I really like this and I hope it does well. Well done and good luck for the rest of the challenge. |

| Isn't everyone's bed in the middle of a field? I can't imagine the amount of work this shoot took. I really love the concept, the tones are very muted and pleasing, as is her body position and gaze. Perhaps a little warmer glow from the right side to warm up the skin tones, and maybe not so many reeds in the foreground. |

| Wow, how much of a pain was it to get a big bed out there? I like the comp here, but I think playing with the levels and contrast would bring out the color and details more. |

| a little different perspective, few less foreground branches, would have been good IMO, the one going across her arm is a little distracting |

| Not a very usual combination. Hope the house wasn't blown away. Nice portrait. I like the soft light. |

| This is great. I would love the notion of waking up with her out in the wild like this. One of the best elements is that it's unconventional. Thanks for that. |

| This put a smile on my face. It's a fantastic idea, and pretty well executed. As I thought more, I found the branches in the foreground to give it a more creepy feel than I'd like. :) |

| That would be an interesting scene to wake up to. The twigs in the foreground immediately in front of the subjects face are distracting and really jut through this image. |

| A little strange :) I like how the camera is kinda behind the bushes, it's like it's capturing her reaction while she works out why she's not in her bedroom anymore!! |

| very cool idea (if it wasn't college hazing :) .... ) i wish the grass/branches in the foreground were gone, they are a little distracting from the unusual image |

| what a cool idea for a photo shoot! the branch close to her head is a bit distracting. I kinda get the feel that this is a "peeping Tom" type of shot ... like we're sneaking a peek at a very private moment in her life ... the more I look at this the more I really like it ... |

| This is almost to close up. I would have loved to see the bed outside from a distance. It would have given it more flare to me then a close up of the model. |

| The twigs over her body ruin this for me.. I love the idea of it and think a wider angle with twigs away from the bed might have been better. |
