 oh boy, what a mental workout this challenge has been. I just looked at it as a chance to continue to grow and learn with my lights.
Many thanks to nshapiro, tanguera, Art Roflmao, Fiora and LVicari for their very useful feedback and suggestions.
And a big thanks to my anonymous, unknown model that you've never seen before.

I do like this shot. The dof and focus is excellent. The scarf looks like it should have been ironed and imo this detracts from the image. The lighting is well done too - I love that it provides a sculptural element without being overpowering.

Her eyes contrast amazingly with the thing she is wearing on her head and with her lips. Beautiful work.

5.95 in a very tough competition. Well done, Jason. Looking at the top 10 compared to this, I would say that slightly improved lighting and heavier processing would have helped this.

...and on the plus side, you did better than Manny!
