Jason Yore - Strawberry Banana

This image was part of a no photoshop contest. I like this image because it is pure optical illusion and what photography can convey using simple lights and backdrops.

Sally Mann - Punctus

This image by Sally Mann always has stood out to me. The lack of focus on the leaves and the body creates a softness to the image. The also like the lighting used to highlight just enough of the females body. Her hair and body also indicate that it is raining. The skin almost looks like its' glowing because of this. I really like this image because it looks natural and not staged. I also like the fact that you do no see the females face. It gives a sense of privay but also candidness to the photo.
