I gotta say I would almost 100% have liked this better in full color, I kindof dislike selective desat but there is no argument from me that it´s done very tastefully here, congrats on the ribbon, what is it, 7 now this year?

Softer focus on the eyes works well here as does the desat. Well done on another Blue ribbon. Great work.

A most powerful presentation to lead the field in this challenge. The captivating stare is piercing more so because of the partial view of the face. The dangling yellow amber stones adds to its magic. Indeed super strong presentation because it has been achieved in b.e.
A big congratulations on this study and of course, the Blue to reward your superior effort! Rudy, your talent appears to multiply like rabbits. lol

Can you share how you did the desat in basic without mesing with the colors of the jewels and the light they cast on the skin? Really cool effect, would love to get the details.

Amazing shot! I love how she is not centered int the photo, and the selective desat fits this perfectly.
11/20/2006 06:19:46 AMPost actions
nice, could have done with al little less smoothening of the skin imho.
11/19/2006 09:18:29 PMPost actions
Super cool with a hard hitting presentation that immediately engages the viewer. What a lovely mystical artistic study. Another bump. Well, here I am again. Considered this image and it is simply a knockout. LIke from 6 to 7, then 7 to 8 and now 9. Very good work and good luck.

Far too overprocessed for me.
It just doesn't look real.
11/19/2006 01:47:04 AMPost actions
Wow, wondering how you did this...
Interesting capture, although since the theme is hats and the focus here is the eyes your score is lower.

Awesome shot! The only thing that bothers me, is how her face looks to be smoothed out (possible by Neat Image) but the thing she is wearing seems to be more in focus. Nice shot over all. You will do well with this one.
