Impact

I think often times when an image is viewed, as the mind tries to process what it is seeing, a word or words usually come to mind as an immediate reaction.

In this particular case, upon seeing the thumb of this image, the first word that came to mind was "angelic"

The soft white tones of the entire image really work toward that preliminary thought. From the gentle tones of the skin to the pure white backdrop. Even the models jewelry helps to convey the overall sense of grace as this shot is so aptly titled.

The approach taken also presents the audience with a sort of minimalistic view. Since there is nothing in the photo aside from what needs to be there, the viewer can take in each and every subtle detail without any distraction. The color of the models eyes, the careful styling of the hair and the gentle lines of the models facial features.

I really cant find anything to complain about in this shot. From the title onward the image really does exemplify grace just as intended, and all other compliments aside, I think that's what works the most. The image does precisely as intended by the artist, and there in lies alot of the reason I think this image is so likeable !
