I enjoy the clarity of this version better than the last I saw. However, I also enjoy the way the eyes and ring stood out on the other one. I feel a bit more pop in the eyes and ring would have really made this a strong image. The green wrap and hair work out nicely.

Your scene selection is very much in the flavor of the Lord of the Rings movies by Peter Jackson. I really like how your lighting just illuminates the face of 'Frodo' and the open hand holding the one ring. That spotlight light illuminates what needs to highlighted. Everything else fades into the darkness...or can it be said the 'Frodo' is emerging from the darkness that threatens to overtake him...hmmmm. While one of my most highest rated photos in the challenge, I still have one critique. It's a small one admittingly but one that would possibly improve the visual impact. Lighting is the category the critique falls into. A little more lighting to illuminate the hair (mayhap it shows up that way on your monitor as that not all monitors are calibrated the same...much to many people's annoyance including my own:-) ). And with perhaps just a slightly different position of the light or a another small light would have better catch lights illuminating the eyes. The catch lights here are right in the center of the pupils and are not AS flattering as those not dead center. Nonetheless and excellent capture. Good job!

wonderful sense of style...tones, composition all work wonderfully together...forgetting the whole competition for a bit, I can't see this ever being underrated, more likely celebrated inside a cd insert...

Nice portrait. I like the way you kept the lipstick toned down in order to draw the attention to her eyes.
