    It looks like a dove or spirit rising from her.

    Might be a good idea to keep the description hidden in a link – keep us guessing for a minute. :)

    I see it as a good depiction of depression and isolation of emotion
    very well expressed.

    I love in-camera imagery (what it all should be, really!) and this is one of those shots that you just couldn’t do in Photoshop! It just wouldn’t be real.
    Great concept through to brilliant execution.
