One of my favourite pictures that I have shot.... Never had a chance to enter it, but it was my current candidate for 'Best of 2010' - really pleased to be able to give it an earlier showing.
It is one of the few images I've managed to get accepted at 1x.com so that makes me feel a bit more relaxed about whatever score it gets here. Let's see how it does.

you should be very happy with how this shot came out its great esp to get the DOF to start just where he hair meets the floor. It is very tasteful as well.
Nice sensual lighting and expression, good catchlight. Just that heavy bottom OOF floor spoils it a bit. Perhaps a higher crop would have been more pleasant and scored 2 more.
