Post Challenge:
Of all the images I have entered on DPC, the final score on this one is a big disappointment.

However, the image is not. It remains one of my favs, with one of my favourite models.

It was a tough challenge, with fabulous images, but I believe it still should have finished with a better score.

Ahhhh.....Que Sera Sera!

hi Barbara, looks like it was tough going for you too. Thanks for the confidence booster. Your capture is excellent and the post processing is top notch. Love the softness and the overall tones is really excellent.

The background looks a bit funky around her hair, not a smooth transition. Lovely girl, great pose, the editing after the fact, rough.

A delicate image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being rich with excellant detail in addition to being an excellant example of the use of the zone system. A perfect demonstration of the power of properly controlled light and focus. A top ten image and a very strong contender for a ribbon. Well done.
