I would like to thank everyone how voted on this photo. It looks like I am getting closer to my goal for 2010 of ribboning with a portrait :D
I will like to first thank
my friend Sarah for posing for me. She is incredible.
Some of you might recognize her in this other photo:
I also would like to thanks Rudy Campos for doing such an incredible job of airbrushing her tattoos so it look like she had none. He saved me hours of photoshop. ;)
And finally I would like to thank stanmoore who spend the whole day with me and Sarah shooting and setting up lights and sharing ideas.
There is no better way to learn than with great friends such as these.
:)

I know it's all about personal taste, but why anyone that can look this stunning would wan't to cover themselves in tattoos is beyond me - but hey, lots of things are . .
Excellent use of artificial light, vivid colors, great mood and beautiful model.. a superb overall portrait!
This was my favorite image of the challenge, should get a ribbon.
Congratulations!
Nice clean portrait. Vivid eyes and hair. The clarity is nice, focal range works. Just for me it is another nice portrait. I would hope for something a bit more to really blow me away.
Well just take my breath away why dontcha! What you've captured here should have a Surgeon General's warning on it. *gasp. clicks 10 with his final breath*
Striking model with nice hair colour. Crisp and clear. Only 2 nitpiks.. Her skin on her face could use some warming up and the bright red lips keep drawing me away from her eyes. I may be the only one to notice that.
Such a well done portrait. I hate it when the pose seems forced and this is so natural. The lighting is wonderful. Terrific focus too. She has incredible eyes. Sometimes red lipstick is too much but it's perfect here and compliments the eye color and her beautiful auburn hair. Good luck and Happy New Year. 8
