Amazing detail and tonal range. Terrific composition. This garnered a 9 from me during voting. Extremely well executed and presented. Kudos.

Wow, that's brilliant.
I love the soft skin contradicting the sharp blod glasses.

Top marks mate, it's great.

Awsome! Love the secrecy having her eyes behing the glasses. Actually I'm dying to see her eyes.... eh eh...
01/17/2007 08:23:45 PM

01/17/2007 06:52:44 PM
Although 23rd isn't bad, I expected this to score higher. Nicely put together.
01/17/2007 12:22:44 AM
23rd??!! There is no justice.

I looked up "wild", it claimed "untamed" ... that works.
01/16/2007 09:21:02 PM
very mod, I love the range of tones.
01/15/2007 10:21:24 AM
Great subject, good processing; 8!
01/14/2007 11:32:36 PM
Those are some glasses! :D It's kind of cool in a way because with the eyes basically hidden the other facial features then become prominent. For instance, the details of her mouth really stand out. Well put together. Will be interesting to see how this does when all is said and done for the challenge. Good luck.
01/14/2007 11:24:28 PM

01/14/2007 08:22:32 PM

Love it. Don't know way but I love it. Could the Malbec I'm drinking.

This is very good. The only thing I am not sure about is the shoulder. A great picture, anyhow.
01/12/2007 05:09:18 AM
awful terrible photo, god knows why you submitted this one.. :-)

Joking aside, this really does stand out in the challenge, usually I wouldnt vote on a challenge I am in, but my image is doing so averagely I thought "What the hell!".. This really is a good shot compared to 95% of the others. 9

Nice smoothe skin and excellent job in keeping glare off sunglasses ;)
01/11/2007 06:28:24 AM

01/11/2007 04:17:22 AM
very subtle lighting, but I'm a sucker for eyes and I see none.
01/11/2007 02:36:01 AM

Excellent focus
01/10/2007 04:39:42 PM
Awesome. Composition is just a tad too centered for my taste (I have have cropped through the hair at top), but the tones and focus are great. 9
01/10/2007 04:14:30 PM
Something creepy about this image, but I can't put my finger on it. The skin is too soft, but that's not it. Maybe it's the pose of the lips?
01/10/2007 02:54:19 PM
neat! just a bit overexposed maybe?
01/10/2007 02:05:26 PM
Cool!!
01/10/2007 12:32:50 PM
Beautiful use of white
01/10/2007 09:13:19 AM
Such a clean shot. Nicely processed. Well done!
