This depth of field and processing is straight out of some melancholy fairytale. This is an excellent example of when a square crop is extremely effective. The first word that comes to mind is "enchanting." If the aperture had been higher, I may have even thought Ansel Adams.

My admiration for this photograph is indescribable. I catch my breath each time I look at it- can't you just feel the crisp air on her legs and the sun in her hair? The processing is superb.

I have insane respect for anyone who can take a well composed photo underwater. With the light refracting, too, getting your subject lit would be crazy! This looks positively surreal.

There is something truly enchanting about the way the colors are processed in this capture. For some unexplainable reason, I am instantly reminded of a million things: Christmas, Vancouver, street vendors abroad, etc. And all of this just from a seemingly simple capture of bicycles at night? Plus, I'm always a sucker for bokeh.

Little to no description is given about this beautiful photograph, which may not be a bad thing as I think it speaks for itself. The composition, lovely variety of colors, and slightly muted saturation are all excellently displayed, and the capture is a delicate portrayal of what appears to be a shy girl smitten in the summer's rays. Wonderful.
