I thought this might be a little too heavy on the vignette but honestly it still works. Also I thought that Cristie might have been a little flat, but

Another great edit by Jessica, Cristie again killed it with the expression. We tried to get a tear but using water is much harder than it seems at fir

Absolutely love this picture, during the critique we got knocked (lightly) for changing up the B&W to color, but again the editing by Jessica absolute

Same Picture from Red Shadow, but given a little better treatment in post. Taken with Canon 5D Classic. 1-40th Sec with 50mm @ f-1.8 ISO 100.
