Don't know the book, but I know what I like :P
Great tones throughout. Very well done low key shot. We need more tools.. a slight dodge on her face would really help make this shot all that it can be. 9 -danny
Nice lighting, toning, pose and use of space.
Just enough detail in the shadows to keep that fatale darkness without loosing subject detail. Good work. Tasteful nudity.
Would have liked to see some more detail on the gun (blown highlight), but that's just a small detail.
OK.... delicious photo..... this is "Kiwiness" material if I've ever seen it! If you're not then check him out and you'll know that this is a complement! The best shot of the challenge! Ellegant, provoking, sexy, dangerous! If the cigarette were lit, it would be that much more beleivable! Great job! A big fat 10! Yanik
Aha! hello Kollin! ;-) Just listening to your music and saw the shots!!! tut tut tut for putting them on your site before the end of the challenge!! ;-) NOt surprised at all that this is your shot!!!
I like how her face is in the shadows, and the white of the cigarette pops out of the darkness - 2 details of a very well thought out composition, well lit. 9
Hi Koll!
Nice use of subtle lighting and strong use of shadow to create mood. I like that she's looking into the negative space area - makes one wonder what is there. Composition works well for me. Colour tone is a little pink though.
Shes cute... Lighting could have added more to the mood you were going for though... Maybe front light with the gun moving into shaddows and the red glow of the smoke showing. I like the angle.
Wow! The lighting is superb, and the photo is very interesting. I always give 10s to half naked beautiful women, but this one is a true 10. Good work. Jacko. 10
Looks like you put alot of thought into this one , perfect lighting and composition, black and white works well with this shot and so does the border. Nice work! 9
Great... Fantastic shot (and fantastic girl). I love the lighting and the composition is really great, too... One of the best picture of this week... 10
Absolutely sensational photo, this would have to now be my favourite photo on DPC bar none. Great use of light, definitely good choice of colour (or lack thereof). This says style, sofistication, and is just too sexy for words ..... which together perfectly match the title. Got to be in the running for a ribbon here! Can't wait to see who took this one, fantastic! 10 (P.S. Love the tat on the model)
This should definitely make its way to DPC prints! (ok, done ranting now)
