I wonder if you should have done this in Black and White Manny...this is an excellent shot that should have done better

Beautiful capture. The lady is beauty. I guess this did not scored as much as it should have been as bright green color does not really compliment "desolation" feel. Still a beautiful photo.

Gorgeous capture. The colors are perfect... and I totally see desolation in her. Beautiful.

Excellent image... can feel her loneliness.

Even tough I like your photo a lot, she doesn't look sad to me at all (I think she looks like she's concentrating on drying her hair).

You've captured the mood, fits the challenge well.

I find that the bright green is a little too bright and is detracting from the rest of the picture. Lovely though, 7.

Great capture of the character in her face against the colours of the materials.

I like the spirit of this image but it seems to have just a bit too much saturartion in the towel and shirt

Librodo? A twist on the "scarf" and a good twist at that!

Back to comment and bump. This is nicely done. I can buy that this is desolation - great eyes and skin - perfect lighting - my only complaint is that the towel is such a bright cheery green.

Amazing image. You really captured the character in her face. The caption sets the tone for the image, and really helps it meet the challenge. I am glad that I came back a second time to re-examine these...bumping this up 2 slots to a 9...

Yes. . .she has desolation written all over her face. Beautiful depiction of the theme!

Wow that face is amazing. Such detail. I really like this one. 9

Great photo - I like the detail given to her weathered features. But I find the colours a little distracting. I think I would have preferred the image much more if the colours had been more muted.

The green really snatches the eye away from the face, which from you title is what you wanted us to look at. Nice try, maybe tone down the green

I love it. The light is so well used here, and the subject is emotive and lovely. 9
