The photos are Fantastic.
You couldn’t have found a more beautiful young lady to shoot!!!

sinai - August 13, 2009 - 12:08 pm

I like. I almost missed that the two distance blends were of the same young model.

Am wondering if the toenails were painted or bloody toes from the rough terrain?

Good work
