I took the challenge description literally, and expected neon signs... I didn't expect to find a photo like this so striking, but I love it. Great job.

i dont like pink but i like good photos

High quality, excellent work. The soft vs sharp just works and I really like the pink cast. If a parfum would be called "pink passion" and this photo was used in an add, I'd go and buy it. :)

I like the softness of this picture. It evokes peace and calmness.

Stunningly beautiful shot - my favorite of this challenge. Great color and nice soft focus. I can't imagine what needed to be validated about it.
Post actions
I don't think you could have hit on a less flattering angle for a face if you had been trying. And it appears you had an attractive model to work with.
Post actions
Really cool softness, it works well. Pink isn't my favorite color but this is one of my top 3, 8.
Post actions
great photo! I love the color and how soft is appears. Good composition as well!
Post actions
Very sensual use of neon. Works beautifully. A fantastic balance of soft diffusion with crisp detail in the same image.
Post actions
I think this is a winner, surely just outstanding photo! 1st place IMO.

Beautiful, this photo is very intriguing and original

This is quite nice and is a potential ribbon winner. The texture in the fake flowers is not really doing anything for me though and I wonder if a more silky flower (or real flowers for that matter) would have improved it.
Post actions
Anyone that would give this a low mark is an idiot or is. . .I don't know worried about their own photo. . . blind. . .This obviously a well composed, professional looking shot and I hate you for it ;-) just kidding - I am neon green with envy. The only thing I can say negatively - and I'm reaching here - is the angle tends to maybe accentuate the nose holes just a tad. Maybe if her head had been slightly turned (to our left)so the eye would still be included or tilted down slightly . . .just a thought. It's still a 10 damn it anyway ;-)
Post actions
i love this picture!! Two things though... 1) the border seems just a tad too thick. 2) real flowers would have been more soft/smooth. its okay to see the texture of the fabric, but it would be a little better without it. Great Job!

Lovely. Soft focus is perfect.
Post actions
Very good shot! Love the color!

You took the topic and re-worked it intosomething beautiful. I love the soft focus, and the sheer decadence of the pic reaches me. I canalmost feel soft hands fullof softer fabric against my face. and I'm a guy. by my own pic rating system, you should get a 12, but 10's the best I can do. I sure hope this pic ribbons.

Great difusion. It almost looks photoshoped. How did you get such detail and soft difusion at the same time?
