I'm pleased to report that this image just received a 1st in the Indiana State Fair, Professional Division, Open Monochrome.
Judging was done by a 3-person Professional Photographers of America (PPA) panel.

66 Jul 22 Reply Thanks very much Emil. It is nice to have a good subject who also happens to be our granddaughter. Her hourly modeling rate is quite modest...ha! Jul 9th
66 Jul 22 Reply Appreciate your comments, Charles. You may have solved the white dress mystery! I'll continue to research this a bit. Jul 9th
66 Jul 22 Reply Thanks, Henry. Jul 9th
66 Jul 22 Reply Thanks, Arik...very kind. It's so new, we shall see how it fares in some upcoming exhibitions. One never knows! Jul 9th
66 Jul 22 Reply Thanks Palli,

This whole shoot was spur of the moment. Thanks to our dear granddaughter for humoring old grandpa and going out for a few images in infrared!

66 Jul 22 Comment Greetings, Henry...
Yes, Jack and Palli have said it all...we need a bit more 'punch' in this one, and I feel that Palli's revised version is right on the money.

66 Jul 22 Comment Hi Emil,

Great subject, but I can't get past the foreground blur/depth of field. The upper 2/3rds is quite impressive.

66 Jul 22 Comment Hi Palli...

I really enjoy the subject, and "Flood" is perfect for it. I also like the wet glass effect. What is troubling me is the sepia tone...I don't see a relevance for it to the scene being photographed. Here's my adjusted version...along with Glamour Glow in NIK Color Efex to minimize the drops that are appearing to be digital noise. What do you think?

66 Jul 22 Comment Hi Charles,

I'm enjoying the whole scene...the composition is splendid in my view. I did a little adjusting...darken/lighten center in Nik Color Efex Pro, added Detail Extractor (Color Efex Pro) to the light sky and darkened it ever so slightly. It looks a little stormy now! See what you think. Again...liking this image, subject and composition.

66 Jul 22 Comment Hi Jack,

Artsy! I like it a lot...but I feel you need more foreground. You can add that pretty easily in PS. The twig's a nice little inclusion in my view...leave it!

66 Jul 22 Comment Arik...I like it very much...the sharp face makes it for me. I am confounded somewhat by the bits of blue. It's wonderful to see you using intentional blur in infrared to create something different. Jul 7th
66 Jul 22 Comment Hi Melanie,

To my eye, the two subjects conflict with one another. I'd have preferred either the junked truck or the shed, but both together doesn't excite me. They actually merge a bit. I sure liked your views of this area in last month's submission.
