 I am very pleased that this shot did well. I really love njsabs's original, and I was afraid I did not do it justice.
Original:

When I was searching for a DQ'ed shot I might be able to recreate I was immediately struck by Jen's image. A blonde girl in a b&w shot -- this seemed like it ought to be right in my wheelhouse.

Much thanks to my daughter. Out of the deal she got a similar shot from the same session (but without the dirt) that she liked and put on Facebook.


Thanks for the comments.

This has to be the same subject six years later - or a remarkable look-alike. She is beautiful. 8

Super portrait, love the eyes. Drops off focus quite rapidly on the neck but the mood is well established. Have a 7.

One of the images I was going to try for this challenge, which I ended up not entering. Very beautiful and technically wonderful recreation. Tiny nit might be that the strand on the right looks a bit oversharpened.

Voted earlier coming back to comment.

Little farm girl all grown up. Excellent lighting that really shows off the details in the face & hair. Love the catch-lights in the eyes. Light and dark tones/contrasts are spot on! Well done portrait work should place high.
