Well, *I* think your flaw's an asset; does that make it not-a-flaw? It's a wonderful image but how do I score it? LOL.

So where's the flaw? Hell of a technical accomplishment. Is this the Sigma Sport?

Geeze, this was my only 10. I'd hoped it'd do a lot better, it's a very haunting image.

Feels like a crop out of a Victorian image, the face is sort of timeless. Wonderful work. Already gave 8, commenting now.

This is just an absolute killer image. Murky, modern film noir... the more I look, the better I like it. Bumping from 9 to 10 and predicting a ribbon :-)

Wonderful image, in nearly all respects one of your very best IMO. Only one thing "bugs" me (jejeje); it's the way the moon's too sharp on the bright edge and it appears almost as if the clouds were behind instead of in front, an oddly disconcerting effect. Regardless, congrats on an incredibly effective take on the topic.

I'm gonna love hearing the back story on this space. I'm fond of the image, it has a matter-of-factedness to it that appeals, but it really doesn't speak very much to the "effective use of grain" in my eyes Balancing those, it's a 6.

Has all the earmarks of a Netherwood image :-) I'd like to see a little more attention paid to eliminating the haloing along the skyline, but a lovely shot.
