Really good. Great focus. I love the interplay between religion and sexuality.(playfully biting the rosary while staring at the camera)- you can't help but see a naughty nice contrast. A real contender.

Awesome shot. Definitely a contender. Perhaps a bit more contrast with a spot of ultimate black. Really just a great shot- mesmerising how you get such a great and natural pose out of a such a young subject. Good luck with this one-

Just a really nice shot- Its got a coming of age suggestiveness, the title, the exposed skin- but the composition is really great- nice positioning and depth, subtle greens an dgreat trees behind her left shoulder. The bar on the right is distracting- but you can photoshop that out for the print after you win the medal. Good luck. (9)

There are a bunch of shots like this, but somehow the clarity, smoothness and expression go with the tones here. Its pretty close to a medal, and you may win, but compositionally I would probably zoom and crop it just above the eyebrows- the top of the head in the picture is unnnecesary. Good luck.

I gave this a nine originally, because of the expression and the pose. Great pet portrait. I guess an 8 is really where its at.

I came back to this one to say its in my top 3- Its a bit sharpened but somehow it works with the black and whitish color scheme- great pose and send up to those world war two postcards which empowered a generation- the first "modern working woman" generation. good luck.

I think this was really the best out there, at least second place. It looks so beautifully textures like a nice pecil or pastel drawing. teh green is killer- just enough and balnced nicely by the blue. excellent.
