Description

Shot this on the same day of my last post. The light was hitting her at an odd angle and I was shooting towards a dark and rather plan background so I used a little grunge to give the background some character. I would have liked for the image to be more colorful but you take what they give you and she wasn't being as cooperative as her male counterpart. Thanks for your views and comments have a great week!!!
