| Beautiful shot. The angle is fantastic and the composition is perfect. The expression in the reflection of the mirror is punishing. This expression coupled with the low angle creates a sexy and dominant photograph. Bravo! |

Greetings From The Critique Club!!!
Initial Impact: Hey this kinda looks like than Inesca womans work. Not sure what the photographers name was, but this has a strong resmblance to some of her work I saw at a show in Sacramento a few years back.
Meeting The Challenge: Yep. I do wish that more detail was visible on the outfit for challenge reasons, but I feel that lightenting it up to do so would totaly destroy the feel of the image.
Focus: Not you typical liquid smooth razor sharp DPC ribbon winner but not all images need to be or look good in that fashio. This has a nice focus and a good DOF. The grain looks "classic" nad not just noisy or badly shot. Very nicely done. (I myself have been afraid to venture as far as intentionaly adding grain)
Contrast: Very nice contrast good lights, darks and a smooth greyscale.
Subject: I like it once again this has a very classic feel.
Lighting: I never thought I would say this, but your lighting isn't harsh enough. At least not in the rest of the room. The hash lighting on the woman contrasts too much with the smooth soft lighting of the room. Was this intentional? No telling just looks off a bit to me.
Composition: Pretty good, but it could be a bit better IMO. Firt I have a phobia about people with missing feet. I would feel a bit more comfortable if the feet had not been cropped out of the shot. Second I would like to have just a hair more space behing the woman on the left. This would pull the woman back to the thirds mark and give it a little better feel.
Overall: a pretty nice classic image. I gave this one a 7 but if my mood had been better I might have gone with an 8. Great job. I look forward to seeing what creative ideas you come up with next.

| This is prolly my favorite of this challenge so I think it's underrated. I can't even believe people would even think about giving this a five or below. Amazing. |

| I failed to vote in this challenge but this photo is really great. I love the "raw" feeling of it. The grain and the b/w are perfect. |

| A lovely composition that remains my favorite pick for this challenge. An image that evokes deeper because of its striking composition and the great use of lighting. Congratulations on your 11th place finish. |

| Love this shot. It's so captivating that i have to keep coming back to look some more. Background, model, b&w tone are perfect. Wish you could have cloned out the light in her reflection, but rules are rules huh? 10 |

Very dark for a fashion shot. You can't see hardly any detail in the 'fashion'...
