Im going to reiterate my point on Tropical Heat from a previous round which still, for me, stands up to its rival in this round!
Again, Tropical Heat (TH) is a lot better framed (In the centre) than Domestic Diva (DD), with the models legs in TH fading into the greenery rather than a hard cut at the bottom of the picture like DD.
The different focus points in Tropical Heat also give the whole picture more depth which adds a lot of plus points to the picture as a whole. The lighting in TH is sublime as well, with it shining on her body in the perfect spots, plus the light coming through in the background!
No doubt, Tropical Heat is HOF worthy. However, it's not uncommon for pics to
not make it into the Hall on its
first attempt but then later attain the honor.
Recently acknowledged as an ANSEPA HOF photo, Domestic Diva is a
prime example of this, having come close in 2021, reaching the Quarterfinals.
Regarding my vote, I changed it to Domestic Diva for 2 reasons: Iris Shala's eyes (the whites of her eyes really "pop").
Also, I find the composition of DD, particularly its setting, a tad more interesting as it contains more elements.
