Im having a real problem rating this picture... its not the finger in the nose, I think the lighting is great, her expression, the background... I like all that. But the fact that it is SO contrasted.... I just cant get over that! It just makes her look, I hate to say this, but like a monster!! I suppose the best pictures are the ones that get a reaction from the viewer, and this one def. has!!!
Despite the self degrading pose, (perhaps you thought it was fun, OOB?) the processing is good. Composition I feel is too central. Whatever the reason, this is a marked departure from traditional portraiture.
The processing has ruined this for me... *sigh* (SORRY!)... She looks like she's been a cadaver for a while. I'd love to see the original for this shot.
I may or may not be voting, so please do not equate my comment with any score.
Back to comment... This is a national geographic moment. It's hysterically, absurdly funny, yet quite striking. Congrats on a great moment. I don't doubt this will get a ribbon. 10
