Pocahontas-inspired shot,something "naturally glamorous." This was taken outside, the background is a field of yellow flowers. Lighting is probably too harsh for a librodo shot but I love the wonderful warm sunset light.
First entry with the D7000. I can say it's a huge improvement over the D60 quality wise haha. Predicting a high 5 to low 6 =)

This is far and away one of the most gorgeous portraits I've seen done here, and while it was an "in the style of" challenge, it is very much your style. Excellent.
My top for this challenge, I don't know if it is in Librodo style as discussed on the forum but I really like it, 10
My third pass, still my fav by far. It captures the essence of the real person rather than the details. The foggy look creates great mood. If I ever get into portraits I'd like them to be like this one.
Very interested who took it. Is that yours, Manny? I hope you will get a ribbon! But it may be DQ'd for using a gradient/fog effect. That would be a pity. Good that DQ does not erase favs and I can keep it even if it disappears before the end of voting.
