I like the overexposure, and the contrast with the purple.

Congrats on your ribbon. I just glanced at the thumbnails and this is the only shot I clicked on. I faved it right away and knew it would ribbon.

I love the back story on this almost more than the shot - which is fantastic. Congrats. Great fun indeed.

SO 1920's. Wonderful shot in terms of model, attitude, pose, and the silverish tone of the entire shot. I don't know if the wide angle helps or hurts this shot. Great work.

Ready for the races. Lovely shot, although the arm has much more prominence than it ought to. Because it is so bright, it really draws from the main subject: her face and hat.

This could have been an old Hollywood headshot. I love the mood and the lighting.

I remember her! Fabulous use of the umbrella to achieve stunning lighting. The radial ribs really draw the eyes to the center, and the prize of her face, which is perfectly lit. The color of her eyes might be just a tad too red, but the make-up and hair are terrific. I'm undecided about the red flowers on her dress - they keep drawing my eye away from the main subject. Maybe fewer of them, or slightly desaturated.

Very provocative and stirring shot, which does not belong in this challenge.

My top vote for humor! Very sweet, and really captures the attempt at glamour. Priceless expression.
