This image is very intriguing to me. It creates a lot of unanswered questions. I want to know wethere this is digitally edited of a snap shot of a girl jumping over the bed and catching it just at the right time. The lighting seems to be acceptable by my eyes standard which is why I am split between a straight shot or photoshop. None the less it is very well executed with an interesting cool and muted color palette while still capturing an interesting photograph. I am now sort of interested in catching uncommon situations or surrealistic images after seeing this. It is making me think and i appreciate that in an image.

I chose this image for several reasons. One of the main reasons is the recent occurrence of nice weather in this fine state of Delaware. The weather reminds of the beginning of spring, where there are still leaves on the ground and yet the trees and environment is starting to bloom. There is a great sense of atmosphere in this photograph as well. The way the light is seen in a beam coming through the trees and softly landing on the ground to create these highlighted emphasized shapes on the forrest floor. With out the clouds of fog in this image it would not be as successful, it would not be as interesting. It would be more mundane and less surreal/dreamy.

I think this is just a beauitful image that is compositionally sound. Another reason I appreciate it is Omni's sense of lighting, the skin on the figure is so soft and smooth it almost resembles a statue. Omni also creates a sense of mystery by not showing the eyes of the subject,  now it is also very possible that isn't real and its a mannequin. just because of hoe the lips seem so close to skin tone and that that skin tone is almost to fair to be human. But either way this is a great photograph with great framing especially with a close-up such as this. The rim light on the hoodie also seals the deal to complete the swooping line created across the image due to the negative space.
