This must be the point in the story where she first hears the howl of the wolf, trying to decide to continue onward or retreat from the forest.

Fantastic shot, Luke! This definitely has a narrative even without Riding Hood being a famous story. The colors are wonderful and I love your choice to shoot this portrait which makes the eerie forest more pronounced. Fav, fav, fav!

Tara is perfect in this image!
You've really created a work of art here! I literally ache that I can only fav this once! This is just brilliant. You added the subtle lighting without interfering with the natural graduated light filtering down from the trees. Wow.

Excellent lighting and pose!

Just putting myself in the wolf's shoes for a moment ... I think I'd make a run for it if I came across someone looking like this in the middle of a deep dark wood :-)
