Striking image Renee! The contrast between the woman's facial skin tone and the monotonous cloudy sky is so surreal.This image reminds me of Bryan Peterson's relatively recent video on YouTube titled "Story Telling Photography" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ6DqhPuPpQ&playnext_from=TL&videos=8NUyA7-GsE4).
Your image is definitely story telling. #8726623
