Without any emotional portrayal, this image is still a beauty. Very gorgeous, good processing and excellent control of light. One of the best pictures i've seen so far.

I'm not sure what emotion is being portrayed. Interesting lighting, though.

Beautiful shot from an unusual angle. I think I might have cropped a bit more of the bottom black, but who knows... This is one of the best.

It's a beautiful image and great use of negative space, but I don't know what extreme emotion you are depicting with this image.

ok...this is a nice idea and lighting is excellent! but i would i have liked it a more closer crop...too much negative space is taking it away from the shot....8

A little muzzy and the black mass below is very distracting - Sorry I don't see any emotion either.

This would have been really nice, near ribbon for me, if two things happened. It was Sharp as a tack, and not so far away..

Love the idea but the focus is a bit soft and crop might be tighter to be more effective.
