I don't like the colors

i see where you're going, but am not a real fan of this type of processing. to me, it's a waste of a very beautiful face.

My eyes do not know whether to look at the flower or the face. I also wish the focus was sharper, especially around her eyes.

Fantastic use of color here. So vibrant and alive.

I don't personally care for the oversaturation. Makes it look sloppy and noisy to me. Nice cropping.

Maybe a little over satureted for my liking...

Love the treatment in this - not photo perfect but it has a very artistic contemporary feel in how the lighting plays up the oversaturated warm colour and the rather grainy bits. Good luck!

I'm not too fond of the processing choices that you made here. I'd bet this would look great if you had pulled back a ton.

Oversaturated and over processed.

Something seems off with the white balance in this shot. Her skin tones do not look natural.

Good composition. A quite daring, and I find, interesting edit. It may not be to a lot of people's taste, but I think it works. I like it, nice job. :-)

Over color saturated ruins it IMO. 6

I've got to rate this high because I just feel in my bones that this is getting hammered by those who don't like heavy processing. One thing that particularly stands out in this image is that it is clear that you nailed the pic's technicals even though it is heavily manipulated. Additionally, in spite of the strong processing, the colors are still very well managed.
10. Easy.

After doing more voting, I came back to this and wanted to add my comment that so far (only 22% of 707 images), this is my favorite in the challenge.

I'm sure it is intentional but I find the bright red tones on her cheek somewhat distracting. JMHO.

I really like the bold colours and contrast on this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/15/2007 06:17:31 PM
Way over processed.

a very noisy image that's quite over saturated...the pose and composition is OK, but the edit is horrible
  Photographer found comment helpful.

nice expression and composition;a little too overprocessed for my taste, though

too heavy ont he post processing. the heavy contrast doesn't add to the photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

way too saturated, contrast too high. good composition and crop
  Photographer found comment helpful.

this could be really nice, the processing is off. The tranisition from the light to shadow is really distracting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

IMO, the editing style you chose to PP this with does not do the photo or the model justice. I think it would look better if it was left normal.

This could of been really nice maybe a lil less processing and BW? nice try though
