Lovely, simple, elegant shot. I think it would look better in black and white. but that's just me. Somehow the reddish tones aren't working for me. love everything else about it though. Great capture!

Very cool. I'd prefer less sky and maybe even a contrasty black and white edit. but still a very nice shot. the clarity is astounding. I hope you are doing well in this challenge.

wow. this is pretty cool. Only thing that distracts me is seeing some of the background on the left hand side in the middle. I'd prefer if the books completely filled the frame. And some more dramatic/dynamic editing could really help too. As is it feels a bit snapshotish but has huge amounts of potential.

Wowsa. What a beauty. Her eyes are nearly completely obstructed by her hair and her stare is still piercing. If her hair was out of her eyes I bet this would be Spectacular. The placing of her hand of her tattooed arm is a bit weird. I think one finger is down in the dirt or something because she almost appears to be missing half of a finger. Overall very cool shot though. Beautiful lighting and exposure and Black and white works wonderfully too.

Beautiful subject and wonderful bokeh created by the chain in the back. It looks a bit soft to me. like maybe the focal point was the chain in the front instead of the pendant. Would prefer the pendant in sharp focus instead. great composition though. and the black and white gives it a nice feel.

Oh so very similar to the blue ribbon in the past twisted challenge. Wouldn't be surprised if this one took a ribbon as well. You did a wonderful job with this. The complimentary colors are great and getting the ball to stay up there was quite a feat. I love the reflection too. may have been better if you could have avaoided getting your whole room in the reflection as far as others voters go. not sure. but I dig seeing so much in the reflection. Fantastic composition too. Good Luck!

Very nice. I love the texture on texture on texture. Gives it soooo much edpth and the diamond effect created makes it very dynamic. I'm not sure how I feel about the mottled look of the BG though. does add more texture but something about it rubs me the wrong way. Otherwise wonderful capture though. Well thought out.

I like the feel of this shot. It sets a great mood. Too soft for my tastes, and maybe slightly tilted, hard to tell. The framing is wonderful though with that one light up in the upper right hand corner. I love that.
