Congratulations Arni...another win for Iceland...exceptional shot...Audur deserves the medal! It was a crazy idea...someone suggested you stuck the feathers on with peanut butter...now, there's an idea! Hope Audur cleaned up OK afterwards...well done

mybe feather the legs and put the shoes where they're meant to be instead. I understand that the eyes give some interest here, but the shoes just look silly out there. great high-key, very imaginative. crop and placement of shoes look a bit in-decisive to me. frustrating image to look at, but 7 overall

---

that's so annoying. comment stands, even some of the best pictures have flaws, I'd be blowing sunshine up your drawers if I said differently.

Striking and ghostly - makes the viewer come back for another look, and another look, and ... Nicely done.

This must have been fun! Maybe not for the model though, you get a full house from me for the effort!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Wow. This is a winner to me.

Great idea and outcome.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2006 06:21:49 PM
Lost for words...a lot of work and it paid off IMO '10'
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2006 03:17:31 AM
Sheesh! I have to give this a 10 just for setup. Great job!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2006 09:44:57 PM
Interesting and scary all at once
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2006 08:53:01 PM
Very unique. I appreciate your creativity.

Very creative!! maybe it shoul be much better without the nose and the mouth.

Cute chick... ;->

Really cool! Kudos for effort and execution. 10

Wow! We need a "how'd you do that" on this one!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2006 09:13:16 PM
Wow! clean up done probably took longer than the Challenge lasted. Great job!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2006 08:02:07 PM
This is a very unique concept.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2006 04:48:38 PM
Would be a great idea for Papagena's outfit (in Mozart's "The Magic Flute"). Love it. ~10

 03/13/2006 03:50:39 AM
great! wish i had a model like her
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2006 03:13:07 AM
I like the high key. A little more even saturation of the shoes would really help the pop factor. 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2006 11:39:46 PM
Weird!
 03/12/2006 10:46:40 PM
Wildly creative... the white on white is very enticing.

 03/12/2006 09:03:16 PM
Peanut butter adhesive?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2006 08:55:31 PM
I'm gonna guess this is a Kiwiness shot, but I'm not sure. Whatever the case, it's certainly unique and I'd expect to see it with a ribbon!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2006 07:35:35 PM
Wow! Wonder how long this took? Fun shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2006 03:15:13 PM
I love the idea, but I think after having gone through all the trouble getting the feathers on the girl you could have tried to make the pose and expression of the girl more interesting. To me, the composition looks a bit boring and it could have been such an amazing image.
 03/12/2006 02:33:42 PM
Great effect, or were you really covered in feathers? Anyway, I think this would have been a little better framed somewhat differently, but it's pretty incredible so a 9 from me.

 03/12/2006 01:20:30 PM
too COOL 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2006 10:54:38 AM

Great concept - excellent photo!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2006 09:31:46 AM
OMG!!! What a photo!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2006 09:26:56 AM
Very creative. Although the items asked to use were odd, you made it work and put a lot of work into the photo. It is one of my two top picks.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2006 08:48:14 AM
Hehe .... that's cool ! Nice effect ! Good luck !

This is an amazing shot. I hope it does well.

 03/12/2006 12:47:02 AM
OH WOW - how in the heck? Did you glue them on with peanut butter? Really clever. I like it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2006 12:26:23 AM
Really nice. I love the simplicity of it due to the exposure, and the composition and pose are really good. 8
