Nice highlight against shadow. The very warm lighting gives a nice touch.

What a lovely scene. The natural setting is fantastic, the model really brings forth a sadness that could easily be inferred as loneliness. Excellent focus, nice lighting. Very well done. 8

Good image. Enough light to see enought to keep it interesting and dark enough to keep the mystery. Looks more like a painting than a photo. I don't feel that this was the spirit of the challenge, but it's still a good image.

The trash bin doesn't add anything to this photo at all...

8. Too pretty to be seductive. My preference would be for another option regarding the necklace. Black glass cross with a smaller smile would be very provacative. Beautiful model. Excellant skin tone.

I wish her well.........

7. Pretty. A bit jumbled for me. I typically prefer more symetry.

Try this in b/w and a little softer focus. Good overall.

Great perspective. What time of the day did you paint this no cars/no people
How long have you been painting for?

I started painting 6AM on Sat Sun mornings. It took a few weeks. Very few cars at this time of day there so I only had to not paint several. I̢۪ve been painting since I was a little boy, in the 50̢۪s. Runs in the family.

Wow! that's an awesome oil painting, Congratulations
I try from time to time to paint but this is beautiful with so much detail for oils
You have some nice clean colours and I don't think I would have noticed the power poles if they hadn't been mentioned but they do look a little odd I think you could have swopped them for street lights it would have given it a quaint look but hey you got first place so what do I know.
