Fantastic Work - My absolute favorite in the challenge because this portrait feels real and not contrived or processed beyond human like so many others around yours.

Wonderful control of lighting and all - but the processing and expression really makes this feel like this is a picture of a mannequin

It is disheartening to see that this image finished below my silly faced cow. I guess this is another example that subject matter counts for a lot for the 2 second voters of DPC (the majority of voters i would gather). My image was full of flaws and issues yet it scored almost 0.5 points higher.

This image of yours has all that you would want in a great B/W image, the straightforward and direct composition, the excellent control of light and shadow, the interaction of the lines and shapes, it all makes for a fantastic study. Well done Robert.

Congrats on the great image and ribbon to go with it.

As I recall there was another photog on this site a while ago that had the same name as you and lived in the same general area, but it is clear for the work that you are a much better portrait photographer than he was...Welcome to DPC!!!

Excellent work Oliver - you deliver another stunning work - and the score aint' half bad considering it's a flower (a pretty one at that)

Fantastic stuff Paul! Congrats on the high finish (especially considering the subject matter and the proclivity of folks round here to be a bit prudish)
