Thanks, Darren.
My options were pretty limited on that shot as we were in a spot that
had a lot of overgrowth so that mostly slivers of light came through,
and I had my back literally against a wall to get all of her into the
frame -- which is why I had her squat that way. The location is actually
a bunch of concrete structures once used to manufacture and store
munitions during WWII. The area is now a game preserve (though, for all
practical, non-photographic purposes, it's just a few fishing holes and
a great place to get ticks). It's also a popular place for smoking weed
(and, likely, cooking meth). Hence, all the graffiti in a decidedly
non-urban environment.

This is the best one of the set, IMHO. Broadlighting the face for
women isn't generally flattering, but her face shape is thin enough
that it still works. Would have loved to see this pose and light, but
with the head turned (nose pointing to the other side) to get the
shortlighting and the classic triangle of light on her cheek from the
nose shadow. Nice rendering and a natural expression!

I prefer this one over the colour ones you posted earlier. Somehow the
monochrome removes distractions? The leaves tie is nicely with her outfit.
The highlight on her right eye is very effective as well.

I always find shots that didn't catch my eye when I originally went through
a set of images. This is one from the shoot I did with LeeAnn the other day
that I don't know how I managed to miss.

After a little cropping and a b/w treatment, I think it may actually be my
favorite of the bunch.
Comments are, as always, welcome.
