Although Joey is a very good photographer, I really don't like comments like the one below. I makes me think that you bump up the score just because is is "Joey".

I am giving you a 10!

This is seriously a classic, and would rival anything ever done by the greats. Congrats on top 10.

You know what they say about those young ones, Joey? They sure have big hoses. lol
I rather like how the hose and the arms mimic each other and form a swirl. It adds tension and motion to the picture.

I don't get the girl, I feel it distracts from the hose.

Well....... This should have been the winner. The best of the bunch.
No contest.. YOU WIN.. in my book.

gorgeous! I suggest you spend more time taking pictures and less time licking your elbow :P

No comment on photo, but Nightshys comment was legendary.

I love that stunning pose. What a great portrait!!!

I don't get the hose.

Just joking ;) I think it's cool and she's a great model. I also really dig the B&W tones. Congrats on top 10 :)

Your mom's a hose.

7th? Really? Wow, thats weak. This is the blue in this challenge, IMO.

Thought I would see this shot in one of the ribbon slots. Great job Joey. Magnificent work, as always.

Beautiful image - great pose and composition! Wonderfully done!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2007 08:47:51 PM
This is a beautiful photo. I really don't understand the hose. In my opinion, it detracts greatly from the beauty of the image and the subject. Everything else is perfect! If we are to believe that she is dead from foul play, her expression is too "alive."
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2007 09:27:02 AM
Very nice pic.. The hose really doesn't add much to the pic because the model's good enough without any distractions.
01/16/2007 07:02:43 AM
I'm not sure if the hose or whatever that is around her is necersary, but I like the light and the composition verry much. Good luck!

nice angle. beautiful girl.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2007 12:21:02 AM
Very sensual with nice texture & tones. Well composed, good technique - conjures up a bit of déjá vu in me for some reason - not sure 'bout the hose...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2007 12:02:47 AM
I recognized her. Great job Joey. =D
I am giving you a 10!

Nice use of props. The eyes draw you in with the focus but the hose kept me moving around the shot ...nice work
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/15/2007 01:43:26 PM
Nice work ;)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/15/2007 02:17:51 AM
whats with the hose?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/14/2007 11:07:09 PM
nice!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/14/2007 10:51:31 PM
I've looked at this a bunch of times. I'm not that bright, I can't get the significance of the hose. When it's all over this is one I'm coming back to read more about. I really like it and ranked it high but wanted to come back and let you know before the contest was over- great job!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/14/2007 08:58:38 PM
wow! a real looker of a shot! I not only like the way you make the eyes stand out, but an interesting concept in adding the hose. Maybe I will try something like that. Very inspirational!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/14/2007 07:38:36 PM
Terrific pose and lighting. I also like the addition of the prop. The only things I don't like are the arms cut off (the hand on the top is like a zombie hand). Still a very high rating.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/14/2007 03:16:38 PM
What is she doing with that compressed air hose then??
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/14/2007 01:45:37 AM
Sheezo! I'm sorry, but in an otherwise wonderful portrait, that hand looks like it's something out of the Adams family... or the latest chainsaw movie. It just seems EXTREMELY awkward or out of place.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/13/2007 06:15:50 PM
IMHO the hose is more distracting than anything else. It's not really adding to your pic. Nice pose and lighting
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/13/2007 03:44:03 PM
Great lighting, pose, depth of field and a fabulous shot setup. 10.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/13/2007 03:07:56 PM
I really love the model and lighting and tonal range, but don't get the hose and think it really detracts from an otherwise wonderful photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/13/2007 04:51:26 AM
technically a really great, amazing shot but for some reason the upside down thing is confusing my brain here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/13/2007 12:18:04 AM
I don't get the metaphor.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/12/2007 09:54:23 PM
*beavis voice* huh huh huh. nice hose.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/12/2007 09:08:55 PM
Very good composition and tonal quality!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/12/2007 05:29:26 PM
I think this would be a killer image without the hose. It´s not working for me, sorry. I find the model attractive, beautiful eyes, perfect lighting. 6.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/12/2007 01:26:32 PM
DYNAMIC! ... Super bokeh ... I dunno what it is about the cropping but I find it disturbing being just a tad off center but not rule of thirds either. 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2007 08:47:57 PM
I like the way you used a water hose to frame her. She is beautiful. I hope you will ribbon. 10.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2007 05:32:49 PM
I like it, but don't get the hose. Good DOF and lighting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2007 04:18:59 PM
ah, so this is where all those ten votes are going.. you know this will ribbon.. I have an inkling I know whose image this is..
awesome.. 2


just kidding.. 10 sigh
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2007 04:13:23 PM
I like this picture but I find the hose or cable distrcting but, if it was meant to be a lead in line or to highlight an area of focus it works but, I think the image would have been beautiful even without this. The contrast, sharpness, dof and lighting are all strong elements to my eye. Thanks for sharing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2007 12:35:43 PM
Bumped to a 10. This is my personal favorite.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2007 12:34:01 PM
I like this one
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2007 12:22:57 PM
love the pose, and the lighting is great. I'm not sure about the hose, but I can overlook that. well done, one of the best I have seen thus far in this challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2007 09:43:24 AM
was the hose necessary? the model is so striking and that hose dustracts from that
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2007 07:38:14 AM
Don't get the hose? IS she about to kick off her pumps and do some gardening?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2007 05:27:56 AM
Framing and centering doesn't feel right somehow. Gorgeous model and stupendous tone and contrast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2007 02:44:22 AM
doris? did she gas herself? :D
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2007 01:02:03 AM
wow and wow! had to stop on this,love the contrast of the fancy dress and the air hose and concrete floor, this is just awesome! 10!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2007 12:21:46 AM
a compressed air hose? now there's something you don't see every day. I LIKE it! 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/10/2007 11:42:28 PM
stunning!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/10/2007 10:42:41 PM
I have to admit, I'm incredibly confused by the air hose
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/10/2007 07:32:24 PM
perfect
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/10/2007 07:31:17 PM
Not sure I'm buying the incongruity of a handsomely dressed young woman and a garden hose, but the execution and overall composition of this photo is amazing. 10 from me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/10/2007 06:51:07 PM
I like the title and the attention of her eyes. 8

Hey it's the girl with the lightbulb, right?
I love the dynamics with the hose. Great shot, Joey!

01/10/2007 09:52:23 AM
very nice. only weird bit is the hand looks like it isnt hers. IMO 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/10/2007 07:00:17 AM
The hose itself and it's placement is a bit odd, otherwise very well done
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/10/2007 02:35:43 AM
stunning...not quite sure of the significance of the hose as it looks like a really try-hard-to be-grungy shot...I would have preferred it without the hose...but that's just me...stunning beauty, gorgeous eyes, great dof...9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/10/2007 02:26:20 AM
Very sexy. I don't get the hose, but that's okay. Her ring is a bit blurry too, but I like this shot overall. Good job!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

What's with the hose?
