I thought this would have placed (much much) higher - this was one of my contenders for top 5.

Nice concept here, but too blown out for my tastes.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/20/2006 12:18:44 PM
Good idea. I think I might have liked it a little better if the balance had been shifted, showing a little of the face looking away and more of the one looking at me. But your artistic vision works too. :)

this is a lovely pose and nice light, small niggle would have liked to have seen it shaper and less processed
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I really like the idea... beautiful face and eyes...my only wish is that there was more of the eye looking at us in the shot and that the focus was a little crisper. I don't mind that it's soft because it really is good for this shot, but perhaps a little bit sharper on that eye on the right would have been better...I do like this however 8

This is beautiful! The desaturation and choice of BW is excellent. 9 from me

Stunning photo. Great texture. I love the range of tones - from washed out streak of hair to deep shadow below cheek in the mirror. Very nicely done.


I didn't know Ingrid Bergman was a member of DPC. ;D

I really like this shot. I specifically like the glowing effect and the precisely over exposed skin. The expression is great, and the grain adds a nice feel to the shot. My only tiny suggestion is the reflected eye is reeaally close to the edge, and as my eye naturally follows the gaze from left to right, my eye runs abruptly and uncomfortably into the edge.

I really like the soft tones you chose for this shot. The grain creates a great mood in the shot as well.

this image seems a bit to grainy for me.
