A very contemplative pose, which the lighting & noise helps to create a mood. I think this would like this better in b/w, though.

This is a really nice effort. The noise is quite high probably due to either the ISO or this is what you were going for. IMO, the noise would work if you converted this to B&W and then boosted the contrast. I do really like it.

nice use of grain to add to the sorrow feel. I hope you score well but some here won't see the pure art.

seems a little grainy...

not sure if the grain is intentional. might be a little more effective if it were in sepia. i really like this image, the way she is so forlorn looking, like she is waiting for something/someone......very moody.
nice job. 8 from me.

Good capture of facial expression. Based on the lighting, it looks like the focal point is on the chest? IMO, this shot would be stronger if it were cropped from the neck up - her facial expression is more interesting than her necklace.

I like what you did to this image: the grain and the soft lighting and restrained brightness is excellent...it looks a lot like an oil painting...for some reason I'm not crazy about the dress, it just seems a little too much color for the image..overall a wonderful shot.

did you use a cellphone? Image grain is terrible and not a sharp focus... sorry, this one lacks a lot of things

Love the lighting and film grain.

Very heavy ISO....

Grain would work if the picture would be sharper.

A bit grainy, but nevertheless, pretty!
