I like the off centre placement in this image..gives it that vital bit of difference.
Nice soft lighting and good colour matching (lipstick and background.)
It might be too unconventional for some..but I like it.

Originally posted by K-Rob: I knew this was one of the better pics in this challenge. I'm just wondering how you accomplished such a deep DOF with f2.8. Very cool and conrats.

I puzzled over that very same thing when I submitted the image.It`s there in black and white(no pun intended) on the exif data and I thought I was misreading it..I can only assume that the deep DOF is a bit of an optical illusion owing to the type of landscape showing through the window

Thank you to everyone for the comments and votes.
I was totally surprised to find that I had gained a ribbon this morning.
Going by the score,I honestly expected to see my picture finish between 10 & 20 as there were so many great shots in this challenge.
It certainly makes the journey (into the "back of beyond")to get the picture, seem worthwhile now.

Glad to see some appreciation for this style, as, sadly, I thought it would struggle ... judging from my previous experience in the portrait challenge.

I echo the sentiments of the previous 3 commenters..great work, well done.
