Love the lighting, the picture itself has a very modern Rembrandt feel to it. Great environmental portrait! Bumping to 8

love the simplicity of this shot, its a great find! 7 - I think a square crop would have worked better for this shot. Lighting seems a little flat, unfortunately an overcast day doesn't help much!

This is a nice shot, white on white with a horse! Gave it a 7, would have been higher if the details in eyes and nose were not looking washed out. Also the neck hair from left looks distracting!

Personally I am not a big fan of cats or cat pictures, but this one looks really elegant! Lighting is really good, B&W works well! 7

I can't seem to figure out how you lighted this shot, unless it was an overcast day natural lighting - whatever it is, it works really well in the shot! Love the textures of the door behind her, complements her dress really well! 8

I want that syringe for the next challenge :)
This is a great composition and DOF is just perfect, I had it at 7, bumping it to 8

Centered composition really works well with this shot! Seeing 2 beautiful sights at the same time is amazing!

gave it a 7 because I feel there is something missing in the shot, I can't put my finger on exactly what. Maybe its the shallow DOF or the lack of it, or the lack of focus / details of hair.

Its beautiful capture, great timing and I know they are difficult to catch in time must have taken a few shots to get this right! Great effort!

Only negative is while the shot is great to make it a 10 at DPC I have started expecting spot on focus, from head to tail, wings frozen and both of them visible - I know it is hard to get that, I can never get it (hence the lack of ribbons in my profile) - 7

This is a great shot, I love the use of natural light. Texture on the windows is amazing! 7

Reason why I didn't vote this higher : This needs to be straightened just a tad bit.. it would help the shot a lot! Also while this is probably not posed, a beautiful model at the same location would have made this shot a definite 10!
