Recent senior session I did with some feathered garland I found at an antique store. Started in the 7.7 range with the first 20 votes. Barely hanging onto a 7 with 148 votes. Hopefully will make the top 5 overall. Thanks for all the comments and the favorites!!

Jennifer's unmatched portrait gift strikes again :) I LOVED this in the challenge, and am so glad to see it with at least an honorable mention. Congratulations!
Excellent portrait with good lighting. Good choice to only leave her face in focus. Otherwise the fur would have stolen to much from the main subject and it would have been an entirely different image.
I could have done without the shade on her left (viewer's right) cheeck and I guess if you had worked a little on her hair and/or fur you could have avoided it. Then again; it does aid to accentuate her cheek bone...

this one is one of the more obvious in terms of the use of the techniques--meaning, i can see your use of all of them right off the bat. that gets you a five from me automatically. however, you're getting a 9 from me because on top of the techniques being present, this image is just terrific. good job! wondeful light in her eyes!
