Last of '07 / First of '08

This is from our last session of 2007 and one of the first prints I made this year. I can't decide whether it's perfect or a near miss. What do you think?

This is probably the most unique portrait that I have seen in years. No major shooter with every possible trick in the book has done quite this elegant of an image. Stunning.
 
Very, very nice. Good composition, wonderful sense of freedom with the bare skin and blowing hair. Wonderful lighting of the shoulder, neck and throat. I disagree about cropping the bottom of the photo, but I could see a centimeter or so of the top. Another great shot, Ian.
 
I am reminded of Botticeli's Birth of Venus..beautifully rendered image..congrats.
