I was trying to say the same thing but my comment didn't register since the challenge ended.


Interesting, except for the fact that the glow does go all around her, albeit heavier in some areas than other, but I don't see how that is an issue, it doesn't change the fact that there is a glow or halo around the model, I don't think it was ever implied that it was an "even" glow. I think it works perfectly for the photographer's vision and purpose of the shot.

Nice pose and lighting.

The only nitpick is that if you are going to remove the background you need to get closer on the skin around the arms - otherwise great shot.

The B&W is great. The image lack the WOW factor. The models hands have the most light and they look strained and uncomfortable.

I love the halo of light and the contrast here. Nicely framed...the centered composition works for me here because of the pose.

Really artful. Love the low key approach. Stunning actually. The symmetry is perfect and the ring on the left hand is the only thing that alters the exact "sameness" which is kinda cool. 9

Phenomenal light. Love the tones. One of my favorite photos from this challenge. The ring is a bit too bright and a little distracting. Amazing study of light. 9.
