morning

The low angle lighting on the plants immediately catches one's eye. Dawn! At first I thought it was a rock in the b.g. then I realized a person was waking up, perhaps by you moving around. Then I wondered why the ? jacket was backwards.

It so happens that I have a penchant for pictures of plant heads against the sky, so immediately I find kinship in this and the moment.

Not that the photography is technically outstanding or composed perfectly. It's perhaps oversharpened and it might be even better to see the figure's entire head too. It's just to me at least, quite nostalgic for those times with friends, with no distractions between us and nature.

I like it, but I just can't understand where the light is really coming from... looks like a studio shot.

Asher, Thank you for your thoughts. I did take one where she was not blocked by the plant and looking into the camera but I like this version more because it leaves something for the imagination to run with, or so I like to think.

Sandrine, I had an extremely tall periscope that soared into the sky and caught the sun. Through a series of mirrors I directed the light back to earth and pointed it at the side of the plants, or maybe I just used a flash, I don't remember
It was all silhouettes with no detail so I introduced some light to the scene. You can see the top of it in the girls hand pointing it at herself, she was holding it for me and when I recomposed she found her way into the scene by accident, I liked it.
