People's attitudes to a repeating subject are interesting, aren't they? Stylistically, this is very different from what we know as a 'librodo' look, and yet it seems to me there is more attention paid to the model than the photography here. It's a grand shot, and she has an amazing face, but perhaps people were looking for something more ... active, perhaps - interactive maybe. Maybe it's too close to folks' idea of a 'portrait'. All the usual DPC imponderables :-)
Wow, nice picture. I didn't vote in the candid (didn't have the time) but I do check my favorite photographers after the contest ends. I still like the texture one better but this has an interesting angle to your series.
this should do very well. has enough candid feel to it and not as much portrait as others similar. nice hair too. 10. and i noticed her in texture too. double blue for you?
Great capture, but selectively coloring the hair seems odd. I think straight b+w would be best for this image, especially considering the facial texture.
Definately one of the big boys this one. GR8 colour - perfect DOF - contrast lovely, woman not so lovely, but makes a good subject. 16th image I vote on - so far a ribbon.
Is it the texture lady? Nice image though not as good as in the texture challenge. The colortones of the hair seem litle strange compared to other parts of the image.
I don't usually like comments or give them, but since candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to comment on every photo in this challenge.
A very good character face to have captured. Nice use of HMS to bring that out. I don't like the pink tones in the wig though, but a good (7) photo nonetheless. A 7 is one of my highest scores given from what I have seen entered.
I want to add, since the Texture Challenge results have been posted, that this looks like Erlinda, from librodo's Texture win (congrats by the way, as I didn't want to mention that in your comments before voting here). I am sure this is the same woman. I am happy you got off 70 shots of her, but in the other explantion you said "she allowed you" to take her photo. In that, I don't find this to be as candid as I assumed. It also kind of gives up anon for me. I will have to deduct a bit for that from the original score I gave you. I really am a stickler for anon entries. Still a wonderful face though and does have great character.
My winning pick for the challenge. Placement is perfect and the tones are subdued yet very effective. Of course the subject is full of personality... very well done!
Third-World-A-Licious. I could be wrong but it looks like you double dipped from the Textures Challenge. DPC will freak over this one. A top 5 for certain. Good Luck!
