Beautiful portrait. I especially like her shy and playful expression, just like an elf would respond to her picture taken. I wondered if the ears were photoshopped or real-fake, nice to know the story behind the picture! Congratulations! |

As much as I like this photo - the depth of field jumps too quickly on the right in her hair. DOF is usually a gradual thing.
The ears are awesome - no wonder she wore them off the set! Great eyes. I can see why you would enhance them if they faded out.
Nice job |

i voted this a very easy 10. it's a really gorgeous ethereal photograph, and a really subtle, successful take on the challenge. your model is obviously stunningly pretty, which helps carry off and make more authentic / believable those triffic elfish ears. the focus on the startingly blue eyes feels natural, and the depth of field is just perfect. the colours are bright, bold and almost illuminating. a superb striking portrait. |

You must have visited middle earth for this image. For this is surely Galadriel of Lothlorien.
Very nice work! From a technical point of view I really like the DOF. You almost miss the elven-like ear because it not in focus which gives it a more natural appearance. Her eyes are captivating. |

08/22/2006 03:48:07 PM |
wow ... beautiful model, fantastically sharp capture and the ear is just classic. Even without that touch, I think the model's expression is bewitching and mysterious enough to meet the challenge criteria. This is a 10 from me, and I don't think I will be the only one giving you the top score. Again, excellent shot. |

Ordinarily I would love this as a portrait, but the intensity kind of takes away from the faerie quality. Great DOF and terrific clarity. I wish the eyes weren't so over saturated. Just not elfen enough for my taste. GREAT EARS!;~D Still giving it a 7 - it is well done. Maybe I'm being too anal about the challenge. ha |
