I was starting to comment on this as I was bumping final scores and didn't get to it--I started to feel guilty that I hadn't finished my Beauty entry (and I missed the deadline anyway).

This was one of my top pics for the challenge. I think you captured a wonderful scene, with great light. I think you might have tried a little more contrast, on the black side,, and you might have scored better--I think your tones are probably about right, but online, and here at DPC, people vote higher for "pop"! Likewise, cloning out the mark on the front beam might have gotten rid of a distraction. Keep up the good work, it is, and will be, recognized.

Wow. I saw this before when you posted it in a forum, but I was just looking at it appreciating the great poses you did, and I noticed the pictures on the wall! LOL! Great.

Duh, now I read your comment.... Congrats on the cover photo!

Return for comment. Wonderful composition and fantastic lighting. A top 10 finish is almost guaranteed. One of my top picks anyway, final bump up!

Return for comment. Beautiful take on the challenge; I love the simplicity and the colors and lines of the reflections. A top 10 finish for sure. Great work.

Great mood and lighting. Beautiful soft exposure on her face, very clear. I would have preferred the bottom to be cropped; perhaps just below her right hand. The right leg doesn't have the same soft feel has her face and hair, especially where there are wrinkles at the knee bend. I'll be a bit surprised if this isn't top 10.
