Nice shot enough but I personally feel this image lacks a main subject, there is nothing that really stands out as very interesting in it.

Djöfull að það skyldi ekki hafa verið íslendingur í fyrsta sæti líka, hefði verið frekar töff að ná íslenskri þrennu :)

All I gotta say is congrats Laurent and shame on those people who are rude and incosiderate enough to comment on peoples appearances in dpc challenge entries.

I don´t know about Laurent´s models or other peoples models but mine DO read the comments after challenges are over and reading stuff about how people think you are anorexic or gross would definately make me second guess if I wanted to pose for another DPC challenge entry. It´s not a question of having thick skin or not, comments like that are just rude and if I were the model, I just would not bother with it again. What the heck has a models appearance got to do with anything anyway and how can commenting on their appearance ever be considered constructive and insightful, I mean what the heck is the photographer supposed to do? How are comments like that helping the photographer, model or this site? Would you say something like that to a persons face?

Blah, I am so pissed off on Laurents behalf but won´t say anything more, crawling back under my rock now...

Haha, well gotta agree with the border, sorry but it´s absolutely dreadful :)

You asked about the lighting and I actually think it´s pretty good. Maybe if you want more natural lighting is to use a big north window during the day and a tripod, but this is not bad lighting at all. I gotta say I don´t care for the backround though, either would have wanted it pitch black orsomething a bit more natural, like the fruit basket on the top of a desk and the backround out of focus.
