 This was hard for me to cut the head off of my subject. Luckily I did it in camera and not post processing, I think that would have been harder. The face is usually what tells the main story, but the hands can tell a pretty good story as well. I thought the hands in this one told a pretty convincing story of stage fright.

Score prediction:
I haven't been too good at this lately either too high or too low. I don't think there will be many entries so I am going to think positive even though I haven't done well on the last three challenges. Score prediction: 6.3 (come on I really want to break the 5 cycle I have been in.)

Another creative idea that was well executed. Just missed being in the top ten. Nice shot.

Good concept, would love to see more tension in the hands or some other touch to convey the fright. Nice work overall.

Wonderful shot, you can feel the nerves with her hands fidgeting! Well done.

There was another image similar to this and both of them are very well done.
Should place well.

Love it. Ready to show off but just a little hesitant as well.

I have always been a big fan of pink and black, your image was the first one out of the group that grabbed my attention by just looking at the thumbnail. I'm not sure if this was a conscious decision or not. Fantastic! Nice lighting.

The black background works so well with the pink. Great lighting and conveyance of emotion without showing her face. Nice.

SO cute. Love that she's playing with the mesh like that, it's perfect

I think it would be better if there was more visible tension, perhaps in her hands.
