Thank you all for such wonderful comments and generous votes. Delighted to have a top ten!

This gorgeous woman is Sydney Curtis, who creates timeless jewelry, including everything she's wearing. So although the title is also that of a musical group, it actually refers to the cluster of pearls around her neck.

I guess I am not familiar enough with pearl jam (the musicians) to get the connection. That's not a fault of the photograph, though. The dark face is a bit problematical for me as I would have liked to see a few more features. Overall, though, it is an interesting presentation.

Great tones and shapes. If only her arm had fit, too. But still, a good use of the narrow aspect ratio.

Love the composition. I would like to see more of her face. The crop works well. ( voted earlier)

Wish her face wasn't so underexposed. Otherwise, like the composition.

She is so pretty and wonderfully dressed up, but then she looks so sad. Tragic feel to the image to me. Great lighting.

The female figure is a perfect subject for this form factor. I had some of those too :)

Nicely composed and I like the top and bottom vignette. I can't decide if the cut off elbow is a problem or not. For this narrow format, you had to keep the body centered and that works very well. It's all that "training' that tells me not to cut off body parts. :-)

The angles adds hefty mystery to the sultry darkness.

I love the light here... and the beautiful woman. I want just a bit more width though... to make me love this.
