I'm sorry I gave you a 6 where it should have been a 9, I'll man up and say I completely missed this one... maybe i was getting frustrated from the host of other images that didn't fit the challenge and I stopped looking closely, but that 6 didn't hurt as much as those 1's :(
Well, I saw it, and it was worth a 7 from me, but I did think at the time "Boy, you gotta be looking for this to find it", so.... If I hadn't *wanted* to see the challenge relevance I'd never have noticed this at 720 pixels on my hi-res screen. Great shot, shoulda' scored better.
I'm with kingskingdom. I got a comment once that a little tiny white spec on my subject's fingernail was distracting -- yet they missed a magazine on this one! Next time you'll know to make sure there's a dust spot or something on the part you want them to be sure to see.
I gotta admit, I had to stare at the image for ages until I figured out what was going wrong. It just didn't click until I tried to figure out what the two breaks were at the top and bottom of the head!
Brilliant image, like you say, too good for your own good!
Clearly the best in challenge. I am glad that I went back and looked through the entries a couple of times. I underscored you by only giving you a 9. Congrats on the best shot in the challenge.
It's amazing how voters can spot a spec of dust or a bit of noise at 100 yards, but didn't spot the magazine! Very under rated should have been a ribbon
Wow, I will be the first to admit that I totally missed the magazine in this shot. I even spent an extra moment looking this shot over because I liked the pose so much. Even after viewing it for the third time, I did not notice the magazine until I read the comments and looked closer. Anyway, great shot, excellent blend, and I formally apologize for voting this image lower than I should have...
Incredible work! It's so good that initially I didn't notice that she was holding something in front of her face. I'm predicting the blue ribbon for you. 10
ahhhh I have just noticed the image the model is holding.
At a glance I couldn't the the relevance to the challenge but now I do... good work, maybe too good for the 2 second voter.
I like the way you thought this out. One thing really disturbs me, that is that your background is so divided. You need to have a sloped background paper to do this kind of photo.
