Were you forced to adapt to look for something brighter?

Yeah, when I finnished my photo and uploaded it, I read forums about the topic and realized that my subject should be black, and that people will give low scores if it's not. But I was pretty satisfied with the photo and I did not unsubmit it and was curious how the score will be even though the subject wasn't black. So I was happy to stay over the 6 mark.

Thanks...

Ah, I get it now. I thought there was no way I was going to get a ribbon in this challenge unless I broke the 7 mark, what with there being amazing images like this to compete with. I was shocked to see this in 8th place. Now I realize that the subject wasn't black and that's what did it. You can tell I'm not one of those people who really votes heavily on the challenge topic. :) This is going in my favorites. Excellent work.

This is one of the most beautiful example of the kind of work I really enjoy "Implied Nudity" Fantastic!!

However I did not vote on this image becuase for me it is not a picture with a black object as a subject.

I would give this a 10 in almost any other challenge :)

Look at her eyes...
I'm pretty much speechless, other than to say "excellent"!!

Wonderful work with light and shades of gray.
Great, tasteful pose as well.

The white of the eyes is very bright though, did you do that with dodging / selective brightening / result of sharpening playing tricks with the eye or is it completely natural and is the difference in tone just playing with my mind?

Anyway, excellent work. One of my two tens for this challenge.

Great shot. Wish her fingers were straightened - almost looks like she's scratching. Excellent control of the light, clever idea!

Absolutely stunning. I love the use of dead space and the way the (beautiful) model blends into the background. Excellent, my favourite of the challenge. 10

I know you're getting hammered for this because your subject is not black, but this is an awesome picture! Great lighting and compositon, maybe a tad less negitive space above her head. 9

The feeling of loneliness that pervades this is inspiring. Beautiful.

great mood, lighting, subject, ... nice creative juices flowing... her eyes are captivating.. I feel that I have stumbled into a private moment.

Good nude study. Good use of negative space. One small thing, it seems the subject should be the black in the shot. This is good enough that it still gets high marks.

this is a great photo - but the idea was to take a photo of something black - not a black background
 02/16/2004 11:09:37 AM
I like this..love her expression, the light and pose. Well done.

This is beautiful and the negative space that surrounds her is integral to the image - my preference would be to crop a cm from the top and add it to the bottom so that her head is further up in the frame and her feet, even if in deepest black shadow, aren't so close to the edge of the frame.

Everything about this is perfect. The pose, the look, the tones, everything. Splendid work. 10.

This is a beautiful shot. Plenty of black and the exposure fits the mood. I aspire to be this good. Thanks for sharing your picture.
