It has nice volume without being messy or inelegant.\u00a0I like the detail of the flowers for visual interest, texture and it covers up the skin on the body in such a manner that it keeps the face, neck upper chest and hand the focal point of the photo. Without the flowers covering the midsection the eye would be drawn away from the face so very smart add with the flowers.\u00a0The facial expression is really, really on point too. It&#8217;s natural, engaging,\u00a0and even flipped 180 it works upside down too. It can be really difficult sometimes to have an upside down pose and an engaging face\/expression and this image has that 1000%.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][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_260995\" style=\"width: 1717px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-260995\" class=\"wp-image-260995 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/aibphotog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Nicole-Oberhofer-Nicole-Oberhofer-FotoGrafin-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aibphotog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Nicole-Oberhofer-Nicole-Oberhofer-FotoGrafin-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/aibphotog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Nicole-Oberhofer-Nicole-Oberhofer-FotoGrafin-1280x1920.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/aibphotog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Nicole-Oberhofer-Nicole-Oberhofer-FotoGrafin-980x1470.jpg 980w, https:\/\/aibphotog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Nicole-Oberhofer-Nicole-Oberhofer-FotoGrafin-480x720.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) 1707px, 100vw\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-260995\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nicole Oberhofer | Nicole Oberhofer FotoGrafin<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<p>1st runner up for February goes to Nicole Oberhofer, photographer at <a href=\"https:\/\/nicoleoberhofer.com\/\">Nicole Oberhofer FotoGrafin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Tyler&#8217;s comments on this image. &#8220;I enjoyed the lightness to this image, very ethereal and almost dream-like.\u00a0It would be a very marketable image with its softness and glowing feel.
