The closeness to the subject makes the biggest impression, the light falling on the trunk lifts it a lot, but the corners being naturally dark push your eyes towards the trunk, with the background trees giving us the perfect foil to the immense looking trunk. Would we normally see a bit of falloff i...

Looks like a low contrast day, bush is a hard to photograph subject, the inclusion of these limbs and/or trunk lifts the image enormously. The impact is aided by the dull background, quite a find there Maris.

If you look directly behind her neck, roughly where her clothing starts, you can see the flat steel bar left and r...

This was a very quick portrait session, I had around 10 minutes from getting the request, to executing the picture; including finding somewhere to photograph.
