At the end of a photoshoot with a friend of mine we let it loose and took some really fun goofy picture. She is a really fun and outgoing and I thought this captured the beauty of her eyes along with that goofy side of her. I was also in the mood to submit something that was just pure fun. This was taken outside on a cloudy day with a large silver reflector in front of her to help make her eyes pop and add more fill light on her face. Editing was very minimal. I used several different methods of black and white conversion and adjusted the levels. I also sharpened her eyes a little bit.
Wow! How cool that this ribboned. Thanks for all the feedback.

This is one of those images that you see during voting, and think to yourself: "this should win, but it probably will be overlooked". So glad that the collective audience agreed with my initial reaction. Congrats on a great image (and the ribbon that came along with it)!
I know this one is just a “Goofy” portrait, but I see you working your way up to a super portrait artist. Thanks for being here and sharing. Keep at it.
At first I had this at a 6. I must say, I'm glad I came back. It's an excellent photo: the focus is dead on, it's a nice conversion, I see no grain (a lot of the photos in this challenge have been grainy to me - especially the B&W ones), the composition is nice. Ok,here's my bump: 9. Nah, she looks like a ten to me: 10
I love the look on her face. Great post processing on the eyes. Nice DOF. Could have removed a couple of beauty marks around the lips and on her neck, but they don't hurt the photo at all.
Goof
