WOW - not only is she absolutely stunning, but you've created such a gentle and beautiful image of her - YEAH!

Totally captivating and wonderfully timeless. You do such emotive and beautiful work - this is an excellent example of that.

What a beautiful shot, and a waaayyy too low score for it! I can't imagine what the voters were thinking.

The only thing I can see at all that makes this less than perfect is the low contrast BG, particularly the light areas. They are too grayish, if you can see what I mean.

But that also helps to bring her out to the forefrount, and gives it a soft look. It should have done much better, but that's not important--great shot Judy!

POSITIVELY ABSURD WHERE THIS PLACED!!!!

...but wait...sometimes I forget where I am...nope...still absurd...

I was your one and only 10...positively timeless.

I'm shocked too! She is so beautiful, and this is an excellent portrait of her. She has a haunting beauty.

The low contrast gives it a mystical quality and it also helps to draw my eyes straight to hers. Lovely image.

Maybe it's just the mood I'm in tonight, but I keep seeing b+w photos that I wish were in colour because they'd make the subject seem so much more alive and vibrant. Kids are great models - I'd prefer to see them in a more colourful lively scene, than this one which is more sterile and artsy (although well taken and processed).

Nice shot, could you have included more space at the left?
