It took me quite a few days to choose the one I liked most and I already submitted one, but I changed my mind at the last moment. First I wanted to submit a creative one, but I finally chose the one of which I thought it was the best one. And I'm still not sure about this one, lol. Ah well, this challenge is going to be fun.

You have a very interesting perspective on life that is reflected in your photography - Bravo for your creativeness! And congratulations on your upward movement to the top at DP.
Awesome! I was going through the top ten and thinking "When will I get to Elvi's". It didn't take long. Such an intense feel from such a pretty lady, a good combo. I'm going to hit you back on that pm soon its been forever and you probably haven't even thought about it but, I will respond. Great job as always.
Maybe you were going for a particular type of look, but to me this is just an odd self-portrait. The editing makes it a bit surreal and the pose and angle give an unnatural look. With the elbows cut off, it almost gives a look of having four arms lol. The lighting, however, is good. I just don't find the overall look very appealing.
This is an interesting shot. I like the white background and how it sets off the subject. The eyes are captivating and the catchlights are good. The shot has a pastey feel (that I'm not too enthusiastic about) which may be intruduced by the post processing. I like the composition and the overall focus is great.
Howdy maam, amazing detail and eyes. Like the coloration as usual. Right hand is a touch dark, but very high marks none the less. Your collection is always enjoyable.
another great shot. Im thinking more could be done with the cropping but would have to see the whole shot to give details... I like the golden colors here as well, something bothers me a bit about the texture of the photo itself, could be over worked a bit or could be the jpg compression messing with things a bit... 7
I dont know what to say about this image. I have looked at it many many times. I guess that is the definition of a successful image. I think it is the eys. They shoot right through you. I was recently in Palm Springs and went to the museum there to view the 1940's Hollywood Glamor Photography exhibit. One image in particular reminds me of your eyes. It was Marlina Dietrich on her fainting couch. The photographer managed to capture an image that was haunting and strong and little intimidating. I think you managed to do the same. My 2 cents I think the image is stronger cropped just above your bust line, just above the bottom of your hair. Great work 8. Stop looking at me like that.
Just don't look in the mirror in the morning, you'll never have a bad hair day ever again. Works for me. :)
Pretty wacky in your face confrontational portrait. Extreme contrast, draganizer? It feels like I am the mirror you are looking in, a bit on the outside, mirror mirror on the wall who's got the biggest and brightest eyes of them all?
Hi Arti-Elvi! I like the PP as always, but I think you had some better ones on the 30 day challenge. You still did a great job I really get the mirror idea. Maybe you should have made your hair look even more messy but that's my opinion.
Pretty cool shot Elvi, love the look of it. Would NOT be surprised to see you take your first of many ribbons with this image. You seem to have a very photogenic face, shame I don´t live in Holland, would love to photograph you sometime, those eyes are just very captivating.
Everyone in the world recognises this by now. No matter; it's as interesting and original as all the other ones. I love your photography but I'm not always crazy for your processing. But that could be my problem & not yours. 6.
