I wasn't blown away when I looked at this editorial. The colors are beautiful, but everything just fell flat to me. I felt like there wasn't anything special or interesting going on in the photographs. Then, I found the final image, with the hair covering the model's face, and I absolutely loved it. Finally! Something different is happening. It's not just a girl posing in a field of pretty flowers...it's a girl posing in a field of pretty flowers with hair covering her face! And it makes all the difference. There's movement here that is nonexistent in every other shot. The fact that you can't see her face is interesting, it's mysterious, and it's what makes this photo shine above and beyond the rest in this mediocre spread. This picture is strong enough to stand on its own, and I wish I didn't have to look through all the other boring photos to get to this one extraordinary image.
