Sort of a shoe-horn image for me. I had a high-school senior session with this amazing girl who wanted a vintage look to some of her portraits. I thought.....great, maybe I can find something for the Edward Weston challenge. Hope it does OK. Had fun with the styling of the image....not quite a Weston fan. I think most of his portraits were lacking contrast and were rather "still". His fruit and nude work had so much more contrast than his studio portrait work.

Another wonderful portrait in the Weston style, IMHO. Interesting that many of his shots are rather high contrast, but from what I have seen, his portraits are generally not so. 8
Very unique entry. I assume you intentionally didn't want to give it more contrast. After having looked at Weston's images, it seems to me, he tried to give his images good amount of contrast. I think the lack of contrast might hurt your score a little bit, but I still like the "old photo" look you have given to this. Bumping this one to 8. I like it even more now.
