Knew this was you! You might have played it safe but I still think it is pretty brave of you jsut to enter. Lighting around the face to rid some shadows could have bumped this up IMHO. But still, good job.
Heehee, I did ID you correctly. :) Well, I voted this a 6 - I like the calm feel to it. And for me without my glasses at daybreak, everything's a little fuzzy anyway!
This actually looks like you sat there, waited for her to wake up, then take the picture. Good luck. I think the lighting is a bit flat, but because it's "daybreak, I think it's what you're looking for. Good luck.
A very soft image and the eyes are haunting. I really like the low-key feel to this, but for me, the title doesn't quite fit. The image by itself is very good.
Nice soft lighting to create a nice moody image. I think if the hair wasn't laying out to the right it would make the head shape better. The crop is good. Maybe a little higher above the shoulder would have been better.
I'm finding this one too dark for my liking Judy, which is a real shame as it's a wonderful portrait of you. I'm sure a little more lighting would of boosted this one a lot! Good luck with it!
it always makes me feel good to see someone who is comfortable with who they are, and you always do a fantastic job of that. forget the score & just keep being proud of who you are.
