I wait forever for this challenge to come and what do they do? They make it basic editing! Well....that's life for ya ;-)
I really hated the idea of another self portrait. I couldn't stand looking at my face anymore....solved that problem, though I'll assume most people won't like having my head chopped off.....or the overblown background...or the brown object on the bench (not even I know what the heck that is). Or they could find something I completely missed, you never know. But hey, I've been waiting for this, so I'm gonna enter!
It's times like these I really wish I had a model....and a studio...and designer clothes...and a hairstylist, and a makeup artist....and advanced editing...blah :-)

Thanks everyone for the votes and comments and stuff! ;-) Glad to see this finish in the top 20, atleast.
And sorry Ben, my head was chopped off in the original too :-P it was completely by accident, but decided to keep it anyway.

:-0 your head was chopped off in the origional?! remember... blame everything on the mac Anna, everything on the mac ;-) Hope yah get all fashionable on us and submit for footwear!
Told Yah ;-) you've got a great face too (trust me, I've seen pictures) and you really shouldn't have done that crop! I really like it though, It was really real, nice setting just wanted o see your face! Congrats on your top 20 though! i honestly really like it! you've got to post the uncropped though!
I see what you were going for, but you really need a face with the fashions unless you are shooting underwear and then you will see lots of headless bodies
Great shot. It leaves me wanting to see her face, but I really like how you created that since of anticipation. The colors and set up were all really great as well. This is one of my favorites in the challenge. 8
I like the richness of this photo, and the bit of mystery as too what her face looks like. But - the FIRST thing I noticed when the picture popped up was that something on the bench.
Nicce, The first one that I can actaully relate with, lol. I mean, who doesn't have a pair of jeans like that?! If i Had entered, I would have gone for the ripped jeans and Converse look, and suprisingly there weren't that many that touched that at all. Nicce
I like this composition and use of color... it looks like you had lighting from the side - if this is true, I would have liked to have seen that back door closed as it is a bit washed out, which happens with back lighting and is distracting.
