 As this challenge begins on Holloween, I found it interesting to make a period portrait piece using a young actress that bears a striking resemblance to the late Janet Leigh of Psycho fame.

Excellent style in this one. It clearly has that 1950s moving picture show feel.

Not sure where this will finish, but my guess is in the top 3. I like the shadows and shading and lighting. The palm comes the closest to being blown out but you made it. Great shot.

what I love in this portrait (along with model) is her palm, oh so soft, vulnerable and open.
score: comp-2, MC-2, PP-2, impression-1, wow-1 = 8.
