Nice black and white. I just purchased one of these for my mothers holiday present for her cash register. I like the composition alot. The use of mininmal light also works well, I think. 9

Points for being the only one doing this! Absolutely love it. The background is great, really adds to the shot. Do wish the cabbage on the left was a little sharper.

Stunning image. Love the light. I wish her hair was not on her back, pulled to the sides would have presented a cleaner image I think. 8

This is a really good idea. I wish the background was just a little richer and the stones more defined. 8

Greetings from the critique club

I think this is a good concept.

A number of the things I see to comment on have been covered in the during the challenge comments.

Blur, shadows, fingers, all don't quite work.

I do like the composition in the frame.

Possible shooting from a greater distance to allow for more light fill below the eyes and better focus then cropping would have made for a better image.

Diffused fill flash or other diffused light from below to smooth out the shadows.

Of course you could go the other way entirely and strictly limit the light to create sharper shadows which could be interesting.

I can see there is a lot of good detail there.

I hope this helps.

Very nice portrait. I love her expression. I think she must be a woman to respect.
A little too bright in the foreground but still an excellent shot. 8

Sunset at Siphon's Draw

Absolutely stunning. Bravo! The colour saturation really makes this shot. The cacti are jut a little too much especially the one in the very near foreground on the right.
I still must vote 10. My pick for shot of the challenge.
