The light...well it's just simply amazing. I like how the rays sort of "point" to the subject and make her stand out from the rest of the scenery. The angle is excellent and enchances your compo. Nothing really to nit pick here...wonderful shot on all levels.

i love the composition, light, perspective (all lines are leading to the face) and the low angel combined with the eye direction (to god? to the light?)
well done david - grate shot!!

Really love this photo David... the contrasts between the diffused light, lines of the building and the textures of the clothing makes this a favourite, really great shot!

Stunning shot, David. I love how the blues in the top of the light rays match her scarf and the little bit of blue in the small back wall perfectly. Her eyes are so expressive. Great work!

What grabs me about this shot is her eye contact with the sun rays- really brings the two elements together and strengthens the shot. That and the subtlety of the colour. Very refreshing.

Really a magic mood with the supernatural rays of light. Amazing wears too ! I love the tones and the soft colors of both the costums and the building. That's really a great shot !

I'm so impressed with this photo. I have never sen a woman dressed up in these typical costumes nowadays, it must be nice to see face to face. You got a good shot here, the archtecture, her garment and the whole compostion is good ;)
