Janice again. This time, I hope I will end up in the top 10 (previous challenges entered with her as my model were not as succesful). I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Hello from the Critique Club, I'm Jon Rowe, and I will be looking at your photo today :)
First off, let me join the handfull that had a feeling this was the work of Mr. Librodo :) What a great score. This is a very well composed image, and the lighting is spot on. i like the use of the earings to bring the eye out and back into the image, very effective. otherwise would have just been a pretty girl, with sweat on her face, and leaving the eye wondering where to go.
i like the high key effect you have going on here. it might be a TAD too much on the fronts of the teeth, and on the eyes some, but that's just left up to personal preference, but in this case i believe it works well. excellent detail on the "hot" sweat there. the reflection, amazing.
i can't really find anything to down on this photo, whatsoever. very nice job, and great use of light.
Super shot! She's a stunning-looking girl, and the sweat is enough to make this meet the challenge nicely. I really like her reflection here, too. Very nice.
Wonderful image. The only negative I see is the light object in the lower right corner of the image is distracting and detracting from an otherwise powerful and emotive image.
The 115th vote in the series and the only ten so far. Excellent portrayal of heat. The subject has an exhausted, sweaty appearance. The reflection and hoop add a lot of interest and helps frame the subject. Excellent work.
