| I'm wondering if you got hammered for what I'm guessing is taking your levels to some extremes. I like the look and think it works really well. (When the image was only half loaded, it made me think of a Geisha girl -- or maybe a publicity shot from something like The Mikado.) It might defeat the ideas you were going for when you shot, but I wonder what kind of mood this would have if she were further to the left. Right now, she feels too close to the right edge -- totally a personal taste thing. |

| like the over exposed look - works well for this. Too much black on the left ? but balances well with the white and grey regions. Good shot. Maybe a bit too grainy ? |

| I like the contrast and compostion of this picture. But because the model is looking at something at the right side I think she should have been positioned more to the left. This would have minimized the dominating black hair as well. Just because of that I give it a 9 instead of a 10 |

| The grain works very well is this shot. Her hair coming around her neck adds a nice touch, as does the expression on her face. |

| I like the gritty feel to this portrait as well as the composition. The divisions of dark hair, light face, and midtone background works well. |

| An interesting technique, but used on the wrong subject. |

| I like your idea of doing a kind of "reverse silhouette." Conveys a lot of "information without much "data." |

| The lighting is too harsh on the face. Also the picture is way too grainy. |

| Dark and grainy, but I think you planned it this way. One of the better people shots in this weeks challenge. The contrast is very good. I like the focus. Lots of texture and the background is interesting. Very artsey IMO. I like it. A 7. |

| I like the grainyness, and the hair across her neck. Actualy, I think I'd have liked to see a bit more detail in the hair, though the lost detail in the face doesn't bother me so much. |

| Nice shot - I like the effect. |

| I love the grain in the L bg. Not as wild about it on her face. The high contrast is good for defining the line of her profile (possibly better w/o the hand), but I'd prefer it smoothed out just a bit. Very worth looking at. Thanks! |

| Almost lith film like quality. Nice work. |

| Obviously the contrast and grain are intended, but I just don't find this appealing, like around her neck, the black hair blends in with folds - or is it just hair? (sorry) |

| interesting... this is an excellent composition... The lighting is great and the grain is very nice too... good job! |

| Beautiful grainy almost infrared appearance. Solid division between dark (back of head) and light (face) areas of the subject. |

| I can already hear the tons of comments about the grain. But I'm gonna just say I like this. Don't listen to them. |

| Good pose, but too high contrast and grainy for my taste in portraits. |

| I LOVE this high contrast, grainy black and white. It's a relief from all the other photos I've rated so far. The way it brings out her eyelashes, lips, etc. is really nice. Well done. |

| Nice profile. The graininess (at least on my computer) seems to detract from the overall appeal, though. |

| Contrast is too high, whites out the face. |

| Just a little sharper and this would get a 10 from me. I like the grainy look. (I'm assuming you accomplished that without violating the rules) This is one instance where washed out highlights and featureless shadow work. Nice cropping as well. It works well. Good job. |

| GREAT GREAT composition.. EXCELLENT use of B&W for contrast. This picture is laid out very well and the the balance of light and dark is pure ART! From darkest black to lightest white. You truly did a great job. |
