I ranked this very, very high. Selfishly, I would like to see more of the detail. Great model. I wish you didn't have to reduce the image quality to get it to fit in the challenge guidelines. The angles work well, classic. Didn't want this to end without letting you know how good I thought this ended up being. Great photo.

Okay, coming from me ( a real anti Tros-Belle-Model portrait person) you must take this as a HUGE compliment: this is gorgeous...She's absolutely delightful and looks like a Classical ballet dancer... warm skin tones ...you haven't sold out to high contrast which is terrific. Simple, elegant, well-composed.10

Beautiful image ... very nice tone and light ... well done

I like this one. When I rate photos, i ask myself, will I ever pose like that? This is an example of one wherein I will say yes. Lighting is great too. 9. If not a ribbon I hope this will be in the top ten.
Post actions
excellent lighting bringout wonderful shadows on her face
Post actions
Very, very very nice photo. Good tonal range, nice rich blacks (I had a photo teacher drill rich blacks into my head). While some may think the strand of hair is a bit distracting I think it really adds to the "feel" of the photo. Top 10 for sure.
Post actions
Very nice photo. I think it would be as good if you had less of the body and more of the face. I like this kind of pose
Post actions
Bumped to a 9. Personal 2nd favorite.
