Manny, I love your photos, I think you are coming too recognizable for the masses on this site and are suffering from jealouly from some, thus the 4 - 1's and 5 - 3's, all undeserved. I would love to be able to shoot with you some day, you are such a gifted artist.

Manny who?

Like Philos32 I never would have guessed this to be yours. Technically proficient as always, tho i'm not 100% convinced the shallow DOF adds to it (not that it detracts either).

As for the petulent comment below about it not being a collection...well let's just be glad that we don't all live in his oppressed little box. Nice interpretation, nice shot, nice win.

Congrats on 5th, Manny! Who'd have guessed a portrait of an hooded, exotic girl would do so well?? LOL

Im a fan of your portraits but the pose didnt do much for me for some reason. The lighting, color saturation as usual are spot on, but the focus on the eyes seems a little strange. The headdress is really pretty and adds visual interest to the photograph.

Anyway, you placed really high with it. Congrats!
