Beautiful image - all that black is good. Would make a good poster. Since it's such a lovely image I feel free to point out two little distractions: the shadow on the guy in back and the blue reflection to the right of the hand.

She's a wondeful model. Her face has a lot of character, and yet it is "model beautiful".

I like this image very much. I like the repeating lines: her silhouette repeated in the line of the hair over the eye; the back of the head repeated in the shoulders and hinted at with the top of her hips. I also very much like the brown/black colour combination, the colours suit this girl beautifully. I like the centred subject placement in this case - it works. I like it that the model is not neatimaged to death, if there's any noise reduction, it's very subtle; I find the slight mottling in the skin of the arm very "human", goes well with the "without" title.

One thing I wonder about is the silver insteps of the shoes - they don't quite go along with the image, then again, if the insteps were black or white or gold maybe it would be too homogeneous.

As far as DPC and scores goes, I imagine the reason it didn't score higher is that the connection to footware is not "in your face".

Cheers!
