This is Australian actress Rebecca Rigg photographed at her home in Los Angeles - We had to do this super fast as she was just about to walk out the door. I felt it needed something and got her lovely dog in at the last minute.

This photo would be exquisite without the pooch! Nothing at all against doggies, but the four legged friend just doesn't match her beauty in this shot!! I love her expression! 8
Nicely done. This looks like the cover of Better Homes and Garden. It's a little light and the colors are a little pale but this is a good composition.
why does that name sound familiar to me...and she looks familiar as well...but I can't place her...hmm, well, I'll tell you, the very first thing I thought when I saw this is that it belongs in a magazine...Oprah's mag or Martha Stewart's perhaps...or Better Homes and Gardens...whichever mag is may be, this certainly has that feel to it...as though I'm being brought into a celebrity's home, her lifestyle, but only to peek...very nicely done.
Wow, this is a very nice portrait. Too bad the dog didn't look a little more relaxed as the female subject does but I know how hard it is to control animals. But the expression on the subject is great, the colors and composition add to it... I just cannot find anything but a few minor nit-picks with this. Great!!
WOW, this looks like on of those portraits that photographers hang on the big canvases in the mall to advertise their business. I usually just stand and marvel at them. Like I'm doing with this one.
The lighthing is perfect, the blurred background is perfect, the facial expressions (woman & dog) couldn't be better.
I'm not voting, but this would be a 12 if I could vote that high.
