Ok, so I had my ISO set to the max when I took this picture because I was shooting in a dark place a couple days before. Being the silly person I am, I forgot to change it back, and yah, I had some grain to deal with. Oh well, I was pretty pleased with the outcome anyways :)
The distracting pattern that people were talking about in the top right corner is the nylons I was wearing. I am sitting in a really weird position under the camera and the is my knee up beside my head :P

Wow! This is stunning! And you are LIMBER :) I sure don't see any noise. . .All I see is flawless beauty. Perfection. Congratulations on an honorable mention placing.
I don't have to say anything, as you know I love this image, as it is just a beautiful photo of of you, my beautiful friend.....
Well done sweet girl.....
Beautiful one, I like it alot, the only comment I have is about that piece of cloth in the top right corner, maybe I would of used the burn tool or something to make it disapear, there is no need for it. It's great anyways, 10!
WOW ... IN MY FACE! ... Cropping a TAD off the left would hit her right between the eyes with the "rule of thirds" horizontally and vertically and make it a 10 for me. It is not an unbreakable rule but I think would rock for this photo. 9
9. It is refreshing to see something this great after 3 days of painful voting. Lighting, posing and b&w treatment are all perfect. One flaw for me, the crop hit the left wrist. I want to see just a tiny bit of her arm
I like how this shot is different. Her make-up, hair-do, jewels and clothing all fit together nicely to create a special look, which is emphasized by her look. I like that you decided to take the photo from above.. a unique perspective which fit her.
I don't like how the second hand seems to drop in from the outside (right one on the photo). At first i didn't have the idea it was one of hers really. I would have preferred it if it was connected to the body as the first one (left on the photo) is. vote=7
amazing photograph .. love the contrasts here ... the over the top make-up is spot on ... the hands very expressive ... the way she is looking right at you excellent .. stunning and WOW .... =9
