I posted a comment earlier, but needed to share with you my renewed ambition to achieve higher scores - thanks to your submission & your comments about your AVR. My current AVR is in between 4-5 in my 3 submissions so far. At first I was very discouraged, but knew that through perserverence and some self-congratulations on relatively good shots (albeit not suited for challenge material at that particular time), I could come up with a winner too.

I guess I just wanted to say again how much I have enjoyed your photo and how much encouragement your comments have given me. Thank you.

An absolutely brilliant & beautiful image; however, I don't see what it has to do with the topic of Moods, so I had to deduct accordingly. (4)

I normally don't like negative images and I don't like the title, but this photo is exceptionally engaging. You can literally see the emotion & feeling of the model and I commend you on choosing a negative image for this (as I imagine the positive image is much less exceptional). You've used the tools available & lighting to make a stunningly beautiful statement. Very nice work. (10) (Only the 4th time I've ever given a 10.)

Very ingenious & well done... The offset subject and b/w shadows really emphasize the feeling. (9)

Although obviously posed, this portrays an enormous amount of emotion and you were able to capture that spirit. Very well done. (9)

Wow... Did this one take me by surprise! Nicely done - I'm not a big fan of guns, but I think you definitely got your point across - and I even like it. :-) Actually, it's a very good macro photo. Hats off to you for not only being original, but for pulling it off too! (9)
