This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:
composition: Tiffany is placed very well in the frame, her face falls on the Rule of thirds line wonderfully. The fish is also helping to decrease the awkwardness of the negative space on the left side. The negative space accents the white of her face, in the photo, almost appearing as if she's floating in space.
color: Always a b/w lover, Its simply stunning in Black and white.
contrast: the contrast of her face is beautiful, it accents all her major features, and makes them pop off her porcelain skin. very well controlled too, its not overpowering.
focus: dead on. her eyes are so sharp and deep
depth of field: perfect so that her and the fish appear to be on the same level.
lighting: just the right amount of light, making the bottom seem to run on forever, and her face to light up like an angel. Also enough to reflect off the fish. perfect lighting
other: I thought this would have went a little higher, but the placing is awesome non-the-less. I hope you and Tiffany are both as happy with this shot as I was, i love it. I also enjoyed your transparency shot too, very well done. Keep up the awesome work, and I'll be looking for these Koi fish more often now!

I think this is my favourite of the "faces" entry; love the concept but I also think I agree with posthumous about the lighting: would love to see more of a blend of face with koi. Kudos to Tiffany. |

PostLuminous Award WINNER!
Luminous, lovely, intriguing, great composition, wonderful deep black negative space, original and creative, just superb. This image stands on its own outside of any challenge theme.
(got the only 10 vote I gave in this challenge)

miraculous shot. I'm wondering if it was really necessary to darken it so much with the processing. The fish is so dim that the photo seems off-balance to me. I could easily be wrong because I can't see the original, but I think with the right processing this could have been Best In Show. It still gets an 8 from me. |

I'm struggling to score this. Great portrait. The hair rather cuts off the hand which makes it and the fish look a little out of place. But then I like the composition because it's more than just the portrait and the negative space works for me. 9. |

A beautiful effect. I do wish the koi's was caught curved rather than straight. |

Wow, this is wonderfully creative..... I love it. Ribbon winner in my eyes.
She's beautiful, she has wonderful eyes - with a hint of sadness. And the composition is excellent too. The Koi is a tough of genius.
Well done. |

After my image, of course (LOL) this might be the only interesting shot in the entire Challenge. I wonder how it will do, not being a food shot and all. Cheers! |
