Description

Persephone, daughter of Zeus, awaits her annual release and the resulting arrival of spring.

The rainy day allowed for some soft lighting through a large picture window. Lens 50mm, 1/100 sec, f/1.4.
Played with filters - watercolor, brushstrokes, etc. in Photoshop.

Beautiful, Candice! What a great title and explanation -- it goes well with the mood of the picture.

Thanks so much for commenting on "Jessica." We just got home from the wedding and I found so many nice comments. It was a wonderful surprise to come home to! #2622850
