[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This must be a girl's paradise - where else she can have so many cotton balls for herself?
But seriously - I took this picture in Scottsdale last winter - 80 F - the model was amazed, delighted and shocked by both the "winter" weather and the cotton field before harvesting. She really savoured the moment.
The contrast was enhanced and the picture was croped.

Hello Petr,
I love the soft effect on the entire photo. Makes it seem like a dream. Keep on shooting and keep on posting! :)

I used to live in Scottsdale for almost eight years! I spent the bulk of my childhood there. Cool shot, very soft and dreamy effect, I like the fact that she's surrounded by cotton and the horizontal cropping is great. Although I think the cropping at the top is a little too tight, I'd love to see the DOF with the cotton in the background. i would maybe decenter the subject too and give her a little more room on the sides, she seems too restricted in the tight space. No need for a frame ;-) Oh, and as a woman, no cotton balls certainly have never fit into my ultimate fantasy as rubbing my sensitive skin with salisylic acid is not my idea of fun. I'd rather be surrounded by chocolate and lots of half-naked hot guys running around everywhere....or maybe the chocolate will do....::sigh:: thanks for sharing.

Hi Petr,

A person of either sex ought to be amused by this!- haha, but her eyes dont seem very impressed with the harsh sunlight... as it is in most open winters' days! I like the clothing as it stands out nicely from the surrounding area, and a nice use of focus here... vey effective.

Lovely image, tfs.

Biance.

Hi Petr,
I don't know if your model was really feeling like being in girl's paradise, but I've never been in a cotton field. Perhaps that's why I like this picture, which looks like a movie scene. I like the wide format you used for the composition, but I would have placed the subject more to the left. I hope you don't mind the quick workshop ;)
TFS,
Toni.

Hello Petr Excellent idea for a shot I think I would try this when the sun is much lower and less direct also if you moved around and asked her to pose in the other direction so that the light was coming from the leftat a lower angle would have been an awsome shot also she wouldnt have to squint so much. well done with the composition and posing tfs rgds Necip.
