| I did think this would do better, I had it at a 9 & then had to drop it to an 8 because I notice the distracting clone job on the left. The image was an excellent one tho- especially good lighting! |

Deserved so much more, Ramon. Alas, too many conventional thinkers (actually, too many who don't appear to think at all). Nevertheless, you did improve your challenge record a bit, which was probably of little consequence to you. And you taught a few a lovely new word. But more to the point, you surely achieved your goal vis-a-vis personality, as the many appreciative comments below attest. Thanks to both of you. Bravo!

| Might want to play with the brightness, contrast and saturation a bit... Maybe even B&W or selective Desat. Got a bright spot on the left of the photo... looks like motion blur. Nice position and ex[ression, but for the title, I would have liked a warmer tone to imply the sun. |

| This was as close to the word I got in my dictionary:heliophila: Any of various South African herbs and subshrubs cultivated for long showy racemes of bright blue flowers with white eyes. But then I googled and it said :vegetable species which likes the exposure to the sun. So this lady is a spicy hot pepper(would have said tomato but that is a fruit) that likes to sun? |

| I'm bumping on second view. It's hard to light pale skin well and that's the prime limitation here. The hat as an anonymizer sits better with me the second time i see it. |

This is one of my favourites as the model just seems to be having fun!
Exposure seems spot on, background is well seperated. Pose & cropping are great. |

| I love the expression on the model's face, it looks quite comfortable. I think the hat hiding the eyes brings an interesting anonymity and mystery. The composition looks ok with the model perfectly centered, but leaves a slightly static feel. |

| This one makes me smile. Whoever she is, she looks very happy and confident in her own skin (to misuse a phrase). This feels like it was a fun photo shoot, and I like that you've shown that even non-traditional models can be very beautiful. Only thing that detracts for me is that I would like to have seen more of her face. 9. |

| you know, what makes this shot is her smile. You were lucky to have a willing older model that enjoyed posing nude. There are some cloning issues at her left elbow that could be cleaned up to improve the shot. I think the composition and crop work well. The lighting is a little flat but does provide depth. 7 - good luck in the challenge! |
