I gave this a 9. This shot really impresses me. It shows a vision beyond what most photographers have.

Returning for comment. DOF is excellent and makes this shot. Composition is very strong, and this image has tons of depth. Black and white was a good choice. Overall, a very good image that should do very well. Good luck in the challenge!

Creative use of shallow depth of field. BW conversion is very good. The cropping of the eyes feels a bit strange.

Great creativity and originality with this photograph. The choice of B&W is good and really seems fitting for the mysteriousness of your composition. Very well done!

Lovely DOF. The cropping at the top I don't like as much. Maybe crop a bit tighter so you don't get the eye sockets or include them in the shot. As is it makes her look a little evil looking or maybe that was your intent? :)

Nie portrait and different too. I think the choice on where to crop at the top doesn't quite work - the shadows of her eye sockets distract me at the edge of the frame there. The rose bud focal point is interesting - it gives a story to the picture. Black and white works well.

Very good photo. Really love the DOF in here and I think B/W was the right choice for this photo.

Interesting shot. Very crisp, nice light and tonal range, and the shallow depth of field works well, too. I find the fact that her face is "cut off" right at her eyes a bit disturbing, but it's a creative, interesting shot.

Maybe selective desat might have worked better here than a straight b/w? Just a thought. Nice DOF though.

This makes me think of Flamenco dancing.

Ouch.. Great shot. It is as if the rose is a sabre being wielded. I really like the presentation here. Rose in focus, and the arm extended, almost fending the veiwer off, leading back to the face with a rather stern look. It's an ace shot.

Nice use of shallow DOF. I predict a top ten for this lovely study.
