Go Sue! You have the touch!
Also, thank you for your thoughtful comment during the challenge.
The mystery about wanting to see beneath the shadow of that hat makes this shot a grabber.

This was my favorite of the challenge (sorry Irene)! The range is wonderful and I love the hint of her right eye glinting under their, that is when you finally tear your eyes away from those lips and see it.

I like the lips on this one but the overly blurred skin and over-blown area on the left are a bit too distracting. Still it is a high impact shot - well done.

This is one of the last few I've voted on -- and it is in my opinion head and shoulders over the rest. My pick for the blue ribbon!

I really like the colors here. The texture of the hat is outstanding. You have to be careful about the light being blown out. I can see the light blowing out on her right cheek to her neck, maybe dialing it down 1 stop would do the trick. I hope this helps. Overall, good photo!

The shade from the hat over the eyes is ace and the pattern on the hat complements the overall composition. Not sure her left shoulder adds much, but adding to my favourites and giving it 9 all the same.
