I love the dedication shown in her face; searching and waiting for the perfect shot. And what she's wearing and how she's wearing it is done effortlessly but she makes it look fantastic. I love this picture, her pose, everything.
I love the strength she displays, her choices, her stance, her focus. I also love the way you captured her capturing something she found interesting. Altogether brilliant.
I really love the accessories. A watch says "I'm paying attention to you and not my leash/cellphone.". I feel like it lends a sense of instant class.
My big question is how, oh how, can she stand in those shoes for any length of time? How do all these lovely women do it? The shoes are incredible and look great, but what about function?
She is so beautiful, her style is striking and bold, and she is a lovely woman.
But I must say, I will never cease to be shocked when I can see a woman's ribs. After spending part of my life in a third-world country, and working as a nurse, I know that this weight is unhealthy for 99% of the population, and a build like this is very rare. I only hope that she is healthy and happy herself.
A number of years ago a friend, who is a local photographer, made it a point to dress in a suit and tie to hopefully rid the profession of its' unkemptness. Such a breath of fresh air to see this photographer so wonderfully dressed. Marvelous and respectable!
