Great shot. I assume you intended to wash out her forehead. What I wouldn't give to be able to do that.

Well, perhaps one day. Excellent work.

She is lovely. Reminds me of a young Jessica Lange sort of. Great editing and tonal range.

First glance I thought it was an old shot of Madonna. B & W worked well. Beauty job.

I would pick it in the Bump game but I dont have anything to put against you. I always try to match the type shot that Im tyring to bump.

Once again great work.

totally underrated...I know you were happy with your 66th spot...that put you in the top 10% which is great, but you deserved to be in the top 20 with this

A very cool looking art/fashion style of photo. Great posing by your model to give an interesting mood to the photo. Excellent!

beautiful portrait, good lighting to make her skin very white but not making it too bright.

Lovely capture with good tonal values. My cropping choice is to close on the left so as to make the downward pensive glance speak even louder. 7

Beautiful!!! This is a superb portrait. My only nitpick might be that I feel it could do with a hint of more shadow on the right hand side where the light is very bright....but I honestly am just taken aback by it as it is. Wonderful model.

Lovely bw portrait. I like the high key feel to it, even though it probably isn't technically a high key picture.

Nice high contrast. I might have more negative space to one side. She's lovely.
