i think you've let yourself down by how dark this shot is. all of the wonderful depths and shadows in her features aren't able to be appreciated. i think you should brighten this shot, then it would be fabulous. :)

i like your idea ... very creative. had it been me, i would have cropped the shot around her hood and. it would have been more symmetrical and we could have enjoyed the portrait and detail in her face more. but i like it, gave you an 8.

this looks good ... that fisheye of yours gets some decent results.

in post process, i'd probably edit out that small outer circle. it seems to be a littl extra flare or mirroring. not a big issue, but it'd clean up the shot slightly.

great value lens! :)

i'm pretty impressed by this. actually, i'm keen to get a set of extension tubes and your shot has sealed the deal. just wow! that dof is insane and the detail is great.

congrats on the win, i think this would have taken the others by storm.

good shot.

actually, i gave this shot an 8 when i first saw it, but on review i upped it to 10. partly because i think it's the only nude, partly because i was angry at having to rate 200 bad shots of flowers.

the reason i gave an 8 was because of the lighting. the purple light works well, but i found the whiteness across the face too distracting. i also disagreed with the cutting of the bum and hand.

however i felt i was being too harsh. anyway, this was one of the best shots in the challenge. well done!

great shot! surprised me to see it after all the flower shots! :)

i think this photo has a lot of potential ... did you shoot in raw? if so, i'd crop the hell out of it, leaving only her butt and the bike. would have made for a nice effect.

but, good submission. one of my faves so far! :)
