| Well done Kiwi, my best photo yet and you still beat me with a holiday snapshot! Get yourself over to Brighton and give me some tutorials. |

Thanks for all your comments for this photo. It really didn't turn out the way I wanted though and I am surprised that it scored so well. I took this on holiday in Russia and processed it on my laptop which I had with me. When I saw it on my desktop once the voting had started it looked completely different. The sepia toning is too extreme, the contrast is too low and it is lighter than I wanted. I never realised there is so much difference between laptop and computer screens.
A few of you mentioned the angle of the bench, well it was sloped like that. Actually so was the fence and the house. This village is from 1703 and everything is on a lean in one or the other direction.
And yes she let me take her photo. Way out in the Urals where I went, people hardly ever see anyone else outside of their villages and were so happy to see us and have their photos taken. |

| Wow there should be a law against this many top ten results. Did she know you were taking this, or is this zoomed majorly in? Its a fantastic photo. |

| The contrasting angles of the cane and fence are fascinating. Is she leaning, or did you tilt the image? |

Great shot, not sure about the sepia toning though, I think I'd have prefered normal b&w.
I'd have also prefered the gamma a bit darker. 7 |

| The tilt is a bit bothersome. She looks like a very approchable subject. I even care about her leg, want to know more about her, so, to me, this is a good photograph, if not for that darn tilt. I gave you an 8. |

| Cracking shot, but the contrast is a bit shallow. Great subject - so I'm marking it down because you have more interesting peasant life near to you! [8] ;) |

Nicely seen shot.
I find the right hand edge with the light coloured bench a bit distracting. I wonder what a tighter crop wouold look like. |

| I like this portrait and the monochromatic treatment, but I think the tomal range could be better. Darkening the shadows and other dark areas would give it a richer feel. |
