A great image that contributes to the challenge well
A lovely portrait Peter, congratulations on your high score and placing. The pose is very effective as commented it has a flowing feel to it, there is a feeling of professionalism about it everything has been carefully prepared. The lighting is nice and even, she looks really lovely. The dress does have a vintage feel to it and as such I think perhaps if we could have seen more of it it would have filled the theme even more, we need your comments to highlight it for us, it might also have helped to identify her as American?
A lovely, distinctive and stylized portrait. I really like the flow of the line along her arm, hand and face, an interesting visual exploration. The colors of her clothing are nicely extended in the blush of her skin, her lips and fingernails.
