Spaceroses [2009-10-02 23:01:11 +0000 UTC]

There is something very haunting about this picture...the messed up, windblown hair, the wilting flower, the sad expression. It's the lack of perfection that makes this just a striking shot. Great work!

VelvetShadows [2009-10-02 22:37:34 +0000 UTC]

This is such a beautiful photo. The name definitely works with the photo. She doesn't just look physically cold but as if she also feels emotionally cold, sad, and lost.
Your photographs always seem striking to me.

Wow, what an experience of a day. Thank you for sharing. I think it turned out amazing, and the emotion in the image is so true to the name, you can feel how cold it is.

I knew this was one of your images when I was on Deviant Art most popular in 24 hours page! You have an awesome, unique style.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work

This is so pretty, even with the beauty I like how it seems to have touch of tragedy to it.

corazon-de-azul [2009-10-02 22:11:21 +0000 UTC]

This is beautiful. The cold bleakness of the setting and the sadness in her expression add up to a very emotive portrait. Well-done.

blknekomage [2009-10-02 21:41:44 +0000 UTC]

wow this is perhaps my most favorite of all your works! There is SO much emotion rolling off this image! I especially love the slight hint of color in her face it makes her appear like a dimming fire about to go out (of course being in frigid water might have that effect!).

I personally love this shot - it looks straight out of a movie or something; plus I can really feel the emotion in the character's eyes and pose.

soulraeus [2009-10-02 21:07:53 +0000 UTC]

I absolutely adore this image, it is full of emotion and beautiful imagery. It reminds of the scene from Memoirs of a Geisha where Sayuri threw away the chairmans handkerchief. Stunning.

This picture reminds me of suicide. Like she's looking down a cliff and into the frigged water below, ready to jump.

blackdragonBDG [2009-10-02 20:50:57 +0000 UTC]

It might have been a difficult shoot, but the barrenness of the location, the lack of color, and the expression of the model all serve to give this photo a sense of loss and despair, and sap the warmth of joy. So beautiful.

freefall127 [2009-10-02 20:10:13 +0000 UTC]

would it be ok if i used this shot as the basis for a painting? I'll be glad to give you credit and a link.

this one of the most stunning photographs i've seen in a long time. if you're going to have to go through so much pain to get the shot, good thing it's so beautiful.
