Just in case anyone was wondering, we all don't lose our eyebrows, that's the only hair I have left.

Funny, she didn't look like a cancer patient. Looked more like a typical pretty DPC model. But I wanted to believe! |

fair enough, the eyebrows are actually stuck on.. there not hers.. this photo was part of a shoot I did for a company who sells wigs, fakes eyelashes and eyebrows for with either cancer patients, drag queens, or crazy people like me hahaha I might actually post the whole series so you can see all the steps, becuase in the other shot she has no eyebrows.. |

| It's a stunning shot, but since this is your second DQ, I urge you to please read the rules. This isn't an "anything goes" site, and it's a shame when great shots (I also enjoyed your Barbie shot) get DQ'd because of rule violations that could've been avoided. I look forward to more from you! |

| Don't worry about a DQ on DPC. It means NOTHING. Your photo is great. |

Sorry your photo was DQ'd.
Very powerful image. Her eye's tell her story. However, IMO the hi-key takes away from the look of a person battling the invader. My wife (BC) and I (CC) both battled the invader and lost our nature skin coloring. We became pale with a grayish skin tone. In my DP portfolio there is an image of me receiving chemo. Images of people dealing with cancer disturb me, even my own image does.
I hope your friend overcomes the invader. When she does, and I know she will, she will become a stronger person.

Sorry about the DQ! I don't even know what, "a typical viewer's description of the photograph" is...
Still a great picture worthy of a ribbon! |

Great photo, but nothing new here... :(
Bald woman:
Cancer patient (although in neither is "cancer" apparent except in the title).
And countless high-key shots.
Again, excellent photo -- but DNMC

Check it out ... 10s, 9s, and 8s all with the same number of votes ... 19! And then the 5s and 6s are one number apart.
This is a stunning portrait and I am so glad that it got you a ribbon.
I hope this beautiful young lady is soon in remission.

| Congratulations on all counts, Susan! Although this makes me feel sad, it also makes me feel proud of her - even though I know nothing about her. Her eyes do draw you in and she looks strong, yet somewhat afraid. I hope and pray her next chapter is a happy one. |

Susie, when I look at this I see one thing: "CONFORMITY"
...not to say that this photo is, but I would've darkened it up a bit. Anyway, I laughed when I realized I was thinking about conformity in a contest with the title "Never Before Seen"

Beautiful image. She's stunning and your high key capture, with the face paint and white background, really emphasise her eyes.
(I didn't comment on the title as I don't know that the image is about the hair loss/ cancer - at least, not to me as a viewer) |

| Your title confuses me - not sure what it means or how it corresponds to your image. I do like the brightness, yet for me, a portrait isn't unique or "never seen." |

*comment only, am not voting*
This image needs much longer than a couple of seconds to take in. Maybe its because I, like many people have lost a loved one to that letter. This is a compelling image to look at and your model is saying so much with their eyes and pose. A faultless hi key image, a stunningly attractive model. I'm sure you will score well in this challenge but imho this should have gone in High Contrast IV (if it was taken within the dates). This has to be a real portrait (the C word again?) so I wish you all the best for the future. |
|
|
|
06/26/2009 01:50:58 PM |
| Wow - beautiful, strong, emotional photo. I love the look on her face - it looks more like hope, intrigue, contempt - not fear or sadness. The C word is very dreaded but also very real for alot of people. Great job! |
