Lovely job! I'm guessing Irene here... If I were voting, this would get a 10 from me.

If I were voting, this would get a 9 from me. (10 if the small pebbly reflections behind had been burned) Magnificent! Congrats!

I'm sure she's beautiful and none of the comments were directed at her, but for the photographer for making her appear this way. There does seem to be a trend to the comments... so perhaps notice should be taken of that for making models appear at their best? I don't think that many folks brave enough to say something about it are all on the wrong track.

Your model should take comfort in the fact that most voters/commenters will put the blame or credit on how the model looks on the photographer who lit her and posed her to appear a certain way.

Many congrats to you again, on your ribbon and for your wonderful talent as a photographer.
