so natural...

lovely light

No problem Author...my pleasure, I have very much enjoyed watching your portrait photography grow over the past year...you have a definite gift and your subject choices and lighting are a pleasure to see. This is the very point of this site...I so very much (after 3 years here myself) like seeing the growth of photographers in their field.

Stunning...wonderful entry author. beautiful tonal quality and pose...great lighting, very natural...great work

Congratulations on 2nd place, it's a beautiful photo, which could well have won.

Congrats!

The action is fantastic, but the contrast levels are too high-key, losing some of the facial expression depth.

I love his expression, looks like they are having a lot of fun. Nice shot

Really nice natural back light on your model.
I don't know if an other angle was possible (so you loose the white wall on the top & right of your frame).See your frame is well balanced (as it comes to black/gray/white tones) & those big white areas are a little bit distracting.
It doesn't mean that is bad .
Very nice light metering & really great deep blacks.
I wish you all the best.

Actually, I rather like the image as it is...the lighter image goes along with the light mood captured in the image...Police in public tend to be very staunch, this provides a different view into their daily routine. Well done Author...

Wonderful, great example of the theme...nice isolation of the subject and quality. Well done

well done author, nicely composed, good action and emotion captured here...

Congrats for making the final GO GET THEM!

Your work is so amazing. You look absolutely breathtaking in this shot. I agree with everyone else about the combination of colors and textures! Your skin is like porcelain. I can't compliment you enough on such a splendid portrait!

I completely agree with Karaflazz!
You are really one of the prettiest women I've ever seen. Wonderful photo and great idea, to carve PXL in the tree bark

Beautiful, really well done

Finally! Someone else who actually put "PXL" in their shot. Very pretty

All ways a pleasure to see you.
Very nice juxtaposition of colors & textures!
Your hand is very delicate & hides a small movement.
