Yup, that's me ... always trying to entertain :-)
I was very pleased with my glamour shot session. I set up my strobe and my cam on a tripot and focused on a barstool that I placed where I was about to run; switched to manual focus and hit the self-timer. My D100 was set to high contrast and sharpening to give it that colorful, fun feel. I'm very happy with the focus as well. Not bad for a shot at 100mm zoom and 3.3 aperture on a self-timer, huh?! :-)

Overall the focus is good, the photo is very sharp and the colors are viberant. I understand you for wanting to let the real you show but at the same time you ruined a fantastic photo of yourself by using those teeth.
From reading the comments left and my personal feelings also I would say you could have very easily finished in the top 10 if not for the teeth they just were such a distraction here.
You definately met the challenge, and overall the image is good. Next time just consider what is more appealling to the person voting.
My second highest rated photo. I love your irony in this. It's a perfectly shot glamour photograph. But the addition of those nasty looking teeth bring our attention back to the fact that we are rating the merits of the photograph and not the looks of the person. Well done - this photo really rocks :)
Yeah baby, yeah! One that might appeal to Austin Powers. Would have been a superb portrait without the joke teeth. Lovely colour and light. Would have been a 9 without the teeth. 7 - floyd
Fun stuff! I think your pose and composition/cropping work well here with the tight close up. Lighting to match your attitude would help enhance the mood even further.
Hee hee, I really do like this, even though the teeth are just ghastly. I like the clear focus, the warm and vibrant, but not oversaturated, colors... The way your face and hair fills the entire frame. The way my focus is drawn to your visible eye. That eye has such a non-chalant, flippant attitude, I just adore it. I appreciate your sense of humor in using the ugly teeth. It's a surprising and unexpected thing to see on an obviously attractive woman.
I have no idea what to comment here! I like it, but I don't know why. The way the hair falls really gives the whole image a kind of Jessica Rabbit gone very wrong feel. :)
I know you were going for humor, but had you chosen to make this just a classic portrait, it would have been even better. I love your framing and the lighting. It highlights your hair and the way your bangs fall across your face exposing only one eye is very attractive. Speaking of your eye, you beautifully captured the color.
Hello,
I think you need to brush more. :-D Interesting portrail here. I find this one a strange mix os semi serious and semi comical, and can't decided if it goes over well. Certainly has shock value, but seems out of place. Technically it's a good shot. I like the hair draped over one eye. I might have tried a guassian blur to soften this one (something I only read about recently in the forums here, but have not tried myself)
I think a portrait should reveal some character, or emotion of the model, by showing expression in eyes or other facial features. Did your picture accomplish that? lol...yes. The expression is in your eyes, which are well focused on. Also shows some humour.
artistic/creativity? yes...Thinking out of the box!!
this cracks me up. focus and clarity are really good. I think that the angle and framing/cropping are just fine as well. humor is way up there. only thing bothering me is the shadow from your chin. otherwise nice.
This would have been among the winners had you not put those teeth on, i dont understand why your intention was to make a great shot comical, or perhaps sickening. 5
