-Bella was kind enough to model for this photo. I made so many mistakes with this portrait, at least in my eyes. I hope to do another portrait of her and apply what I have learned.

-About the Model: I call her Bella (Beautiful) as you can see why. She is a fashion designer. Check out some of her work at www.obellabrand.com

Last minute bump to 7. This fits the challenge well and is a nice portrait.

Good use of high contrast!!! very nice and well done portrait

Nice high key effect, but I would prefer to see more shadow. 8.

A little bit too contrasty for my taste, but a good photo nonetheless.
09/10/2005 05:29:59 PM
Elegant shot. Well done.

Beautiful contrast, model and setup. Good job!

Classic portrait, would have gotten a 10 in the next challenge. :)

For this challenge, well, I don't know. I like it, but some of the brights are to bright and the color lacks a bit of depth. 8

WOW! Very beautiful!

Wow so pretty, nice white image.

Very soft and pleasant. Well done.

Beautiful artistic image...

Lighting is so dynamic. What a wonderful portrait, this fits the challenge perfectly, good luck, 9.

very nice retro style portrait. Perfect use of high contrast. My favorite so far
09/06/2005 10:15:15 PM
What makes this picture very good is the details in the eyes and that you use sepian color ... love it.
09/06/2005 10:40:49 AM
great job, love this effect. winner for sure.
09/05/2005 11:07:16 PM
Very striking. I would probably have cropped too tightly at the top and bottom - you have it spot on!
09/05/2005 07:31:12 PM
For me, the photo has been overly done in a photo editing program. The overly yellow skin is a bit much for my likes, but you have created some very nice, contrasting shadows.
09/05/2005 06:47:11 PM
Very nicely done. I like the softness that it has yet the clarity is still there Good use of filtering. Lovely - Bella!!!
09/05/2005 03:34:14 PM
beautiful
09/05/2005 03:33:35 PM
Truly fantastic. It's a beautiful image and a beautiful model. I'm very curious about how you managed to get this high a contrast without losing details in the places you kept it. I hope you'll explain!
09/05/2005 02:10:33 PM
bella is a bit too yella
09/05/2005 02:07:46 PM
A classic pose with a retro feel
Great work
Good luck

Beautiful...
09/05/2005 10:32:54 AM
beautiful....
09/05/2005 10:14:10 AM
Very well done! It's high key, but definitely high contrast, too. Lovely!
09/05/2005 12:51:02 AM
Awesome shot bro! Good editing. Congrats on your last photo too... My only fear is that someone will nominate your photo for disqualification due to there being no sholders in the shot. Hope not, because I see a lot of photos in this competition that don't belong (HIGH CONTRAST). So, I think this has a shot at a ribbon. 10 from me.

just wonderful!
