| Wow. Oh my gosh. This is by far one of the top 5 best picture I have seen on here. That is so powerful. Damn...that fits like a glove in the catergory, too. I can't praise it enough. It kind of takes my breath away. |

| Yes, with a tighter crop and a little straightening you may have achieved 1st place. Well Done on your 2nd Place. |

| had the exposure been better this would have been a much more powerfull image. As it is, it's muddy and lacks any punch. I do like the idea. the cropping could have been a little tighter, but this is a subjective matter. Nice idea. |

After reading many of the comments on your photo I am sorry you didn't win. I hope you get your blue ribbon real soon! Maybe next challenge we could trade places? ;)
Congratulations on a superb image! |

Congrats on the ribbon, it is well deserved.
I did not get a chance to even look at the entries in this challenge, but I wanted to comment on this one.
Technically; having not read the rest of the comments, I imagine others have pointed out the lack of contrast and tilt. But these imperfections did not matter much once my eyes found your daughter. The poise with which she holds the pose carries the message past any technical barriers. Whomever is responsible for the pose, your coaching or her contribution, it worked very well.
I added you (and the picture) to my favorites because you have accomplished the conveyance of a strong emotional charge that I have been studying to be able to even attempt. That is an ability that I certainly want to keep an eye on.
As a final note; well done on the courage to attempt an image representing such a strongly charged subject that it is nearly guaranteed to create conflict. Not to mention to pull it off so well that you are able to ribbon with it. I have had an image that, like this one for you, simply will not leave me alone; but I have been unwilling to attempt it as I know I lack the skill to do it justice just yet. Having the image stuck in my head gives me a goal to work toward, and you have (unknowingly perhaps, but none the less) given me a needed push to stop stalling so much.

| A stirring image and an unfortunate choice these days. It's a great composition with a model well suited for the job. Her pose and expression are downright perfect. My only complaint is that the print seems very flat - there's no really crisp whites - and little contrast. If that was your intention - you've succeded, but Id like it better with more tonal range. Overall - should be in the top few... |

Far and away the best chosen subject I've seen so far. Perhaps no other choice this girls will make in her life will be as important as this one, to accept or to kill.
Not terribly strong technically, but I'm more interested in the subject. Brilliant. |

A little lacking in contrast, but I think this symbolises one of lifes hardest choices.
Assuming the person was a "model" I might have had her facing towards the door biting her finger nails to emphasise the choice she is having to make. |

| A powerful (and possibly point affecting) statement. I think color would have been okay here, but it also works well in b&w. Good composition, and I like the way she is looking away and holding her hands. Actually - the photo makes not so much of a judgement which works well (ie. I can't tell if your for or against). Nice work. Well balanced. |

| I love the way the starkness of the sign really jumps out of the image. This is quite a confronting composition that doesn't lose track of the vulnerability and humanity of the subject. I think the isolation and vulnerability of the subject creates an emotional depth that transcends the impersonality the debate. |

| this image really makes one think. it goes beyond the cliche 'which pair of shoes' type of photograph and really makes you look at all the details... the pregnant girl, posed perfectly off-center, the locked door and notice on the door that show how dangerous it can be to provide a controversial service...black and white certainly fits for this image, as the decision faced by the girl really is black and white, either choosing life, or death for her unborn child. a powerful image, a perfect 10 in my eyes. |

| This is a really nice shot. I like how while no choice is actually present, the situation is filled with choices. the B&W really sets a nice mood, and the model's poise is perfect. My only concern is that a handfull of people won't get it somehow. |
