Congratulations Jimmy! Excellent shot! Very well done! It is about time the others started recognizing your talent. Very well deserved in my opinion. I didn't vote this challenge, but after perusing the entries I think the right image landed the blue. Excellent exposure, perfect composition, perfect combination of title, concept, photograph. Extremely well executed! Would have been a solid 10 from me. Again, congrats, you deserve it!

Interesting photo and certainly creative. But where is the essence of the person in this shot?

WOW! Did I say wow? I meant WOW! This is such a great exposure. The detail is breath-taking! The B/W processing is perfect. It would have done well in the challenge if entered...definitely a 10 from me. Really great shot Roxanne! Very creative and shows an appreciation for an alternate vantage point. Very well done!

How did I miss this? This is the close-up I was referring to in the other comment I left. Great shot! Love the detail of the eyes. Very intense gaze - excellent timing.

She certainly doesn't look underfed...pretty face. Consider a facial crop of just the face?

Flying high

I can see where if someone's monitor is not adjusted properly where it would appear too dark. I like the pic as is (on my monitor). I don't need to know what you have on your head (although I can see what it is clearly). I like the mystique presented by the photo. Why so dark with the glass on? What is she doing? Is this a crime scene? Is there something nefarious going on?

I like the photo as is and love the composition. It brings so many questions to the mind in so many directions that to simply comment on its brightness/darkness seems to me to be somewhat simplistic and kind of like 'first impressionistic' and not seeing the value of what is on front of you. Just a point of view...

Very cool photograph. There is a statement here somewhere, just not sure where. Makes my mind wander in all kinds of directions. A touch of elegance, yet the 'on the curb' feel. Very provocative . Excellent exposure.
