well, this is almost as i imagined it would turn out. except for maybe not thinking about using a white cigarette on a white background, that was pretty brilliant. :) and the background itself isnt as bright as i would like either, but oh well, we had fun. :)

I'm way late, I wasn't even around for this challenge but dang! I happened upon this photo and am in love with it. I am shocked the more and more I see what dpc voters go with. 6th is pretty rediculous!
Brilliant indeed! I gave you a 10 and figured this would place first. Great work. Perfect composition. Excellent light and details. The hair and the shades are perfect. Damn! She looks a lot like Julia Roberts! I hope she takes that as a compliment and not a DIS. (: Selected as Favorite!
Cheers....Martin
thanks for all the kind words peeps! i went for emotion over technical with this one--i had a few that had better backgrounds/cigarettes--but i liked her pose, etc in this one. so i'm happy with the placement! :)
@pedro--just the usual frustratingness of people not reading the challenge. my interpretation was that it could or could not have to do with the actual movie. some people i guess thought it meant that it could not at all have anything to do with the movie. oh well.
17 people voted this 3 or less? idiots. The Anal-ysts were clearly out in force...maybe knock it down a few points if you think it misses the challenge, but for *&%$ sake people use your damn brains for a change.
Great shot, very 60s. I think it could be a bit sharper, and I wish the cigarette didn't blend in the background, but overall, I think it's great. Bumping up.
The model is just about perfect though I think there was a certain eternal innocence in Audrey's face that is lacking here. But that facet of her never worked for me in her Holly portrayal and the slight hardness does with this model. Only nit is the cigarette seems to disappear. Nice job.
Yup, I think we have a winner right here. I'm almost too stunned to comment but I had to go ahead and tell you what a lovely shot this is. I'm sure you've gotten plenty of congratulatory comments already though :) A classic, gorgeous work of art...good for you! :)
Wow. Speechless. This would make Audrey herself blush at it's perfection. Pose, frame, crop, lighting,everything. perfect. If this doesn't get a ribbon Imma lose it.
i wanted to spell it speachless, just because i think i'm funny, and you'd get it ;)
This looks great. Her pose and looks is so classic. She really looks like (and perhaps she really is) a famous moviestar.
The balance of light and dark combined with the toning is just great. The addition of the cigarette holder makes it mory dynamic. If I imagine the portrait without it, it somehow looses its power.
The things that draw me as first is the hair and the glasses. Especially the tone gradation in the glasses makes it a bit "who's that girl?" (to be sure: not Madonna related at all!).
