Easily made my top5 favorite list from this challenge. Gotta love the little toes. Great job with all the technicals, lighting, b/w conversion, etc.
I'd only perhaps recommend darkening of the shadows/blacks or use the burn tool to darken the black fabric on the top(it also creeps in on the left side) to match the black background. Good luck with this one! :)

Your model is lovely. She has beautiful features and lines. The pose works really well here to accentuate that and great job with the lighting as well. My only nitpick is that the jewlery she wears really stands out too much. The lines they create are also really good and the whole shot is wonderfully composed but they take away from the human form aspect and make it more of a product shot. (no vote)

One of the greats is back ;) This shot has a great dynamic to it! The connection between the title and shot is really strong for me. The lighting is also really good as always. My only nitpick is that it seems a bit oversharpened. Good luck with the shot.(no vote)

Really like the use of the HDR or tonemapping technique here. The shot has a great glow to it and great textures. Only nitpick, the view deeper into the woods looks a little oversharpened.

I haven't seen Ken Rosenthal's shot before. So seeing your shot first was my first impression. I immediately thought Jeckyll & Hyde. Both mysterious. Yours is Hyde, with the brighter face. and his is Jeckyll with the back turned and darker silhouette. Can't say I like one better than the other. They both offer something unique.

Lydia strikes again! and you got a new image on your profile page too. A charming shot. Nice to meet you, Jack. Cute little guy and good sport too. Btw, I also really like the first outtake shot.

Ozzie is one of my favorites of DPCers pets. This is my favorite shot of him. He has a wonderful and unique character about him. His eyes do tell it all here ;)

I had a good hunch this was yours. You have a way with b/w. The shot has good detail and b/w tones.
