A very sexy image which invokes all that is sensual. It is an image which may invite a bell curve but rest assured that ny vote is on the higher end. In itself the image is a winner because it is very well done. Bumping up to 7

The missing tones here are exceptional and very artistic to lend a kiss of a graphical treatment. The face angle is great and the cropping makes this image sharply impressive. Bumping up.

Exceptional detail and good lighting speaking of the fatigue factor. A very interesting response to this challenge because it meets the principle and gives the extra extension of a feeling we are all subject to succumb to. Bumping up.

Half (Grief for My Father)
by Tiberius

Comment:
A great b/w study with an inner message that may evade the casual viewer. The dark and light background is inversed in the face which rings of the ying-yang and all things where polarity plays the sum result of the living experience both physically and spiritually. Even the hand placement adds tension and the entire image comes to a well balanced conclusion. Bumping up.
