Description
Yeah there's no creeping up on Lara - she'll get the drop on you every time. I'm not quite sure who or what has been on her trail here, but I think they're going to regret it!This pose is a different attempt at the turning shot (taken by her sister) which Sari posted in February 2012; namely Lara Croft in winter action , featuring an outfit inspired from Legend's Nepal section. Sari wasn't in such good focus this time, which may be why the other shot was favoured, but as part of the editing I've done some careful sharpening to try and compensate. She has a straighter posture here, but the thing this shot really has going for it is the way her hair is swirling around so nicely I think. Adding to the difference, I've cropped things down to make for more of a close portrait rather than a scenery shot. So all in all, I think this should make a nice addition to Sari's pics for that cosy outfit. She's kindly let me upload the edit here.
BONUS FEATURE: This deviation comes complete with a rhyming tongue-twister for Sari fans! Try repeating this fast, and see how you do: "Sari's super swirling hair swirls swishily in Finnish air." Tricky, and also true!
UPDATE, 30/12/15: I've now done a revision which I think is better: see Stop right there 2 . To compare it, you can have both pages open in separate browser tabs and switch back and forth. Have the images at full size to see them sharpest.

It came to me in a swirl of inspiration.

Awesome pose, awesome shot and nicely captured indeed!
And a really, REALLY pretty Lara, if I dare say
BTW: I managed to quote that line ... ... at 3rd try

Good work on the tongue-twister then. By the way, I wasn't the photographer (hah, I wish!). That was Sari's sister, and I've adjusted my description to make that clear. And yes, awesome pose, caught just right.

You seem to have a serious crush on her
Can't say I blame you, though.

This would also pass as an excellent version of Cover Girl from GIJOE.
I absolutely adore the hair flying.

I didn't know the character, but having looked up a few pictures I see what you mean. Two cosplays in one. Nice work Sari!
