Perplexed and Frozen

Perplexed and Frozen

After a 14 hour flight and a 50min walk through 0º freezing cold… we ended up at Lord’s cricket ground for an hour tour – somehow I thnk Siena wasn’t sure what the hell the tour guide was talking about, as both perplexion, boredom and cold set in.

    Crikey, that’s just beautiful. (So is the model.) How do you get such sharp imaging? I admire your skill. The icy blue background was a fortunate happenstance too. :)

    This is such a beautiful shot Paul. Everything about it is superb from Sienna’s expression and the wonderful treatment you have given it making her eyes literally sparkle. The clarity is brilliant….have I used enough adjectives? She’s looking great after her ordeal, if not a little fed up.

    Siena’s eyes are absolutely breathtaking! She may have the glazed over look, but her eyes are mesmerizing! The pale blue background really sets them off.
