charms that still allure.

A good effort which could have benefitted from a stylist. I like the over-the-shoulder position, and the lighting on her profile. But the eye is drawn instead to the long lines of her legs, which are in an unflattering position.

Great, fun concept, but the lighting just doesn't work for me. The skin tone is also oddly bluish, which isn't complemented by the yellow/orange wrap (which is too blown out at lower left. The reflection in the glasses is really nice and crisp, but I'm undecided about the piece of shawl reflected in the (camera) right lens.

Haute couture, "Love at First Sight"

Fantastic capture though I just can't get to "glamour" with it. The expression on the top bird is too much.

Very nice. Great tones and lighting. Nice dof and background bokeh. Love the contrasting softness of her cheek and harsh line of the shawl, and that she is looking away from us. Her expression is priceless. The whole attitude spells glamour, that she lives in, and by, glamour.

The age of Glamour

Love the attitude. This is a perfect example that Glamour doesn't have to be blingy or scantily clad, or luxurious. The POV, upturned chin, and glint on the glasses are terrific. Love it.

Fun shot. I think the lighting could be a bit more specific to either the model or the bubbles. Right now, it's not prioritizing either it's hard to know where to look. Great color and transparency on the bubbles, but the model is a little washed out. On the other hand, she is sharply focused, but the bubbles are not. Like I said, I think the lighting/focus had to be one or the other to really make this shot.

Simple Glamour

Comment:
Too simple. A pair of long opera gloves, or even just a pearl necklace would have really made this shot work. The crumpled background also works against the idea of glamour by being too relaxed. Overall, the lighting is nice, but there is a blotchy unevenness on her face, especially around the eyes, which seem to sink in a bit of shadow.

A stunning shot that DNMC. Not that Glamour has to be a human, but this doesn't say "glamour" to me, even though it is gorgeous.

Clearly a wedding reception. Fun shot. She does NOT look pleased.

Fun, counter-interpretation of the challenge. Love the shot and the perspective. Would have preferred her turned around so that the sun was on her face.
