I thought Ansel Adams was dead! Best B&W study in the challenge, and I've voted on 90% so far. Good Luck in the Challenge. 10.

Im thinking this may have had more impact in black & white. The light seems too strong on her left side. It's an adorable expression however.

Very interesting editing here, I really like the warmth portrayed, in spite of the obvious somber setting. Great work.

The more I look at this photo the more I think its amazing. The color of the light coming from the sparks onto her body seem natural to me and convincingly appropriate for what she is working with.

The 'forced' expression looks perfect to me. She is grinding something with force, not to mention how dangerous this sort of work is, I think the strained expression fits within this scenario.

The oil on her body is perfect because it illuminates the lighting on her voluptuous body. This photo is very controversial it appears, and that makes it all the more appealing to me.

I love your models shape (curvy and not all boney) and kudos to her bravery to pose for this shot. I think it should have ribboned personally.

Do some more like it!

Great photo. Love the way you maximized the crop to make the photo as large as possible. Anyone who gets up at sunrise to get photos gets an extra point from me...Good job.

Great black n white study. I love the use of tones. The border really sets it off. Nice.
