That one huge liquid eye (with the platinum reflections in it) just makes this shot. Congrats. Beautiful job.

Sooooooooooo beautiful! I can't stop looking at it! :) My question is, how could some voters give this a 2, a 3, and even a 4 or 5? I don't get it.Message edited by author 2007-07-25 01:14:05.

Lovely image....wonderful lighting.

A really good image. I love the colouring, and the way her lipstick and the light on her nose pick up the material. Less sure about the semi-focus on the necklace.
Post actions
The heavy reflection in the visible eye and the shine off the lip really help the shot. Might have cropped more of the out-of-focus neckwear since it does compete a little with what is intended to be the focus of the shot.
Post actions
gorgeous model, so why hide so much of her behind all that stuff?
Post actions
ooh, that necklace really distracts from her lovely face, would work well with a crop to just include a hint of the jewelry & not overpower her
Post actions
Post actions
beautiful!!! very nice colours.
Post actions
Would be nice to see that neckwear she has too, but great soft focus up top.
Post actions
beautiful, interesting portrait
Post actions
Great DOF and sharpness and clarity are right perfect on her face. Great expression, and love the composition. Very Librodo feel to it. Nice work.

Well done. Should be a winner...9

The silver reflection in her eye made this one for me. Stunning.
Post actions
An otherwise excellent photo is destroyed by an out of focus bottom 1/3 - which is, unfortunately, where the observer's eye is drawn. I don't know what it is - but you may have had a top ribbon if it was cropped just below the chin. The light on the veil makes it look like metal mesh, and this is accented by the metallic lipstick and almost-metallic look to the skin. But the topper is that marvelous metallic reflection / glint in her visible eye.
Post actions
Nice work! IMHO, it would have been even better with at least one eye completely visible. (or both hidden under the shawl) - 7

Oh very DPC:D This should score high:P

Lovely - certainly in the Librodo school of portraiture. I just wonder whetehr a very small crop from the bottom would enhance the balance?
Post actions
Good job on keeping the silver theme going with her lip gloss and the way her eyes reflect the photographer.
Post actions
Superb portrait, everything about it is excellent - 10
Post actions
this amazing man! how did you create a shoot like manny librodo? do you mean that you are a genius too, like him?
Post actions
DOF is too shallow for my taste, maybe cropping off the lower 1/4 had helped
Post actions
I like this one. Looks very much like a librodo shot. Nice!
Post actions
Very impressive shot, I'm happy to see a meaningful picture in this contest. It deserves a ribbon, and I think you will get it. :)
