This environment portraiture was taken at year 2022. using my trusty camera Sony a6400 with Samyang AF 85mm f/1.4 FE lens.
The location I choose is deep in the conservation rain forest in West Java, Indonesia.
To achieve the moody feeling and richness color I edit in Adobe Camera RAW and Adobe Photoshop to colorgrade.

Congratulations to the winners!
I really like this image. I might have chosen to crop a bit tighter. Thats just a matter of taste though. I can feel the model soaking in the environment. Through the senses allowing her soul to connect with the Spirit of the Rain Forest. The sounds and scent of the falling water cleansing away the stress of the day.
Hi charles, thank for viewing my work. i really appreciate it
the model in this picture actually my close friend, we do hike and camp a lot and all can tell that she's a forest and nature lover.
Yes, you're right, she's really connect to the forest.
In my thought, this is not model pose, but this is what she is.
"Nature is not a place to visit, It;s a Home"
Indeed ! Nature is our home ! We ARE nature. Buildings , no matter how beautiful are not natural. I like my house. I am comfortable here. But I do not connect with my house the way I do to the forest or the ocean waves or even the call of seagulls....Your work is beautiful and compelling...
