Guess that's the prize for being a recognizable and very well liked artist on this site. Of course, compositionally it is as great as ever, although I'd have loved to have seen a more colorful background. The black seems to really point out the over-sharpening where a more natural background may have helped hide it a little more. Also, once again, would that I had a bank of "exotic" looking people to shoot.. seems to really make a punch with North Americans. Anyway, for me, a touch less of smoothing and sharpening would give this photo some real life.. Guess that's why I usually don't score well here. As I also commented during challenge, I completely agree with everything Artyste says. It's a pitty that this site has become a "whoever is the most popular in the forums" wins. No offence intended to librodo, and nothing against him, it is the only image I commented in the challenge, that means it clearly triggered my attention, I really feel the image would be wonderful with regardless how much noise. Like this it looks like the poor girl is wrapped in a plastic bag, a manequin a doll anything but human. You have true talent it is obvious and it's a pitty that you ruin your work just to please the DPC forums audience. However congrats for the ribbon.

Agreed.

Great shot Todd. Underrated. Deserved Top 10, if not Top 5.

Ms. Beauchamp, is that you?

I love the negative space, the symmetry, the centered focal point, the angles (the heel of the right shoe points you directly to her face, as do her fingers of her left hand), the way her right arm frames her face, the lines of this are classic, appear to be studied and overall, just great, the inverted "v" of her torso and right thigh is marvelous. I would love to know how the lighting was set up. Original, erotic, and beautiful. Good luck to you. 10.

A beautiful piece of work.

There is something moving about the combination of water, a bird, and a reflection. I never get tired of that combination.

Great photo and way underrated.

I am amazed by the disparity between the average score of the commenters compared with the other voters as well as the disparity between the no-camera voters and the camera voters.

Again, great photo and it should be higher than the 31 percentile.
