there is something about the very stoic sort of look on her face that makes this shot facinating. I like the tones you have chosen too..sort of has a timeless feel to it which contrasts with the flashy subject matter.

I really like this image alot and I have to disagree about croping the left side off. I like the way the female form blend into the darkness around her seamlessly. This is very well done!!

I think this is the best image in this challenge. The vintage, fine art look that you have managed to creat with this photograph is exceptional. The tonal range and composition are all very complementory to each other. Congrats!

My monitor is calibrated to the printing lab I use. I see images as they will look in print. I dont see blotchiness, pixelization and unsharp focus. I guess there is no way around the difference in monitors...hmmmmmm.

I think I get where you are coming from for this shot... and please excuse me if I'm wrong, if I recall correctly there is some sort of a connection between being androgenous and reveared in some Asain cultures? Am I right? I think I remember that from my trip to Thailand/Mayanmar (Burma) but that was in 1998... anyway... This is nicely done... I like the lighting... I would have maybe gotten rid of the blue next to the person or your arm, but beautifully done, I also like the lightiness on the butt. Great photo... -9-

I'm with Helene. A border needs to either add to the picture, or be silent. this one draws me out to the edges, when clearly the nicer part in the middle. I'm not convinced it's undersexposed, but it is dark; the only difference being that you can fix dark, you can't fix underexposed :) all the details are there, even in the shadows. I think the blur comes from the compression, but I could be wrong.

Compositionally, I really like it; the crop works, particularly where you cropped on the left. It makes for one beautiful flowing line across the screen, disturbed only by the border (sorry). Using top lighting was a great choice to bring in some more topography (in ref to your title :) )

Is this you?
