I think you've done a good job of capturing the antithesis of 'delicate.'

Wondered if this was you. Glad to see another one of your entries.

I'm commenting because either (1) I've simply forgotten how to edit image info post-challenge, or (2) it's not possible without being a paid member of the site.

Just wanted to add that I appreciate the comments I've received on this photo. The dismal score served as a lesson to me--I've had to re-learn the meaning of DNMC!

Will be working on becoming more thematically appropriate.

Love the shallow and carefully controlled DOF on this one.

Very cool image. But why not take advantage of the full size on DPC?

I like this minimalist approach. For such a stark shot, lighting and crispness are key. I'd have liked to see a clean white background for the shot rather than the murky pink. Great idea for this challenge.

This photo holds plenty of promise--it's got compositional interest--but it suffers from a dark exposure, a crooked horizon, and heavy vignetting on the right and bottom. Some PS work would have done a lot for this photo.

My pick from this challenge. One of a very few (from an already small set of submissions) that really communicates the model's character. Pose is interesting, composition is good, and the lighting is effective. Very well done.

Way to go. Keep on showing off California in that uniquely favorable light in which you cast it.

Haha. I chuckled at this one. I was critical of another photo for its top/bottom framing, but it works for me here, I think because of the stark geometric composition of the photo itself.
