Great finish for this fantastic movie still, my only 10 and favorite! All due respect to the ribbons but this one should have been among them. Congratulations on the HM!

Excellent, very noir to me, except for the focus. Nothing in this image seems to be truly in focus.
After having done some research on the genre I noticed that many of the photos (particularly the portraits) had a characteristically soft focus to them.I tried to keep that in mind when taking the photo.
Well now, What to tell you first - I love her pose, she is beautiful and elegant and very 40's to 50's looking - the fact that you choose to make all of her soft except her eyes is very compelling .. an 8 from me
"Robert... Is that you?"
