Taken with minimal barn light (a real barn....the one
with the neigh's and the moo's), just a small amount coming through the cracks in the wood. I told her not to move and she did a great job and staying quite and still. I love the dirty face and soulful look.

Disqualified or not, this is a wonderful capture. The use of natural lighting is perfect, and the compositon outstanding. Great model, too. The strand of hair across the face is genius!
This is a beautiful image, however the eyes look very edited and it looks like the low key was edited in instead of shot as. I am voting based on rules, so I give it a 9.
ooooooooo. I love love love love this image. what a great expression and what great photoshop work...
tonality is just great.
this is my pick for number one
edit* I have come back to this image about 5 times now. I just love it's impact.
Exceptional BW conversion... Many people do not know how to convert and edit for BW, but you nailed it perfectly. Very nice work, with emphasis on the eyes. The shallow DOF helps to draw my attention to her eyes, which are the best part of the image. The dirt smudges help to add character. 10 from me, and one of my favorites in the challenge. I hope to see this ribbon!
