| Love this shot, especially the backround (you gotta tell me how you did that backround, I love it!!!), it really makes it pop off the screen. Would have given this a 10 but I am not really all that fond of the post processing on the skin, too smooth and plastikky so I slipped this one a 9. |

| Yowsa! This is stunning. The lighting, background, her stare. Melts me right in my chair ;) However there is something about her that doesn't look right. It might be the whites of her eyes - they're too white and the softness of the hair. Either way, this will still score high and will definitely be in the top 10. Good luck! |
