The way the light falls across her body from the window is beautiful. I love the sharpness in the details of her face as the focus slowly fades as it moves down her body. The tones in the image are a wonderful mix of neutrals which all compliment each other allowing the highlights and shadows to guide your eye through the image. Lastly I like the juxtaposition of the relaxed expression with the slight bit of tension as she grips the sheet covering her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;!st Runner Up &#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<div id=\"attachment_260954\" style=\"width: 1508px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-260954\" class=\"wp-image-260954 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/aibphotog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Pascale.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1498\" height=\"2250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aibphotog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Pascale.jpg 1498w, https:\/\/aibphotog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Pascale-1280x1923.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/aibphotog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Pascale-980x1472.jpg 980w, https:\/\/aibphotog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Pascale-480x721.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1498px, 100vw\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-260954\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pascale Dekker | The Female Gaze<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<p>1st runner up for January goes to Pascale Dekker owner and photographer at <a href=\"https:\/\/pdfotografie.nl\/\">The Female Gaze<\/a> based in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn&#8217;s comments on this image. &#8220;This image for me is about textures. From the beautifully detailed piece of lingerie with numerous lace details to the canvas backdrop behind her which evokes painters brush strokes in my mind. I like the black and white toning and how the light defines her body. Pose wise that arch is killer especially since there is enough light coming through to really accentuate it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;2nd Runner Up&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<div id=\"attachment_260953\" style=\"width: 3010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-260953\" class=\"wp-image-260953 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/aibphotog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Lauren-S.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aibphotog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Lauren-S.png 3000w, https:\/\/aibphotog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Lauren-S-1280x853.png 1280w, https:\/\/aibphotog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Lauren-S-980x653.png 980w, https:\/\/aibphotog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Lauren-S-480x320.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 3000px, 100vw\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-260953\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lauren Schwab | High Heals Photography<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<p>2nd Runner Image is from Lauren Schwab, owner and photographer at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highhealsphotography.com\/\">High Heals Photography<\/a> based in Colorado.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Shawn&#8217;s comments on this image, &#8220;It may only be a sliver of the subject\u2019s body but this image draws you in. Starting with the black &amp; white conversion that compliments the lighting perfectly. The sharpness and texture of the water droplets add so much to the soft pose and feel of the image as a whole. In some cases less is more and this image certainly takes advantage of that philosophy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Honorable Mention Goes to&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; disabled=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>This month an honorable mention was selected and goes to&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Honorable Mentions&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; disabled=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/aibphotog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/May-2nd-runner-up-Julie-Harris-Julie-Harris-Photography-scaled.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;May 2nd runner up Julie Harris Julie Harris Photography&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Honorable Mention&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|3px||3px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Honorable Mention Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|3px||3px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Julie Harris | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.julieharrisphotography.com\/\">Julie Harris Photography<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;8px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Footer&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Monthly Choice Footer&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to all of the winners of the Monthly Choice Image Competition.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uafimaging.com\/\">\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0We look forward to seeing more amazing work from you and more AIBP members!<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Are you interested in learning more about AIBP and how to be eligible to win a Monthly Choice?
