Captivating shot. The subject's connection with the camera draws the viewer in, and the background image adds mystery. The lighting is absolutely perfect, right down to the catchlight in the eyes. Artistic, one of the best of the challenge. 10

great feel but the light is just a little too harsh.

Your comments here remind me of my own attitude toward a lot of my old processing jobs... I tend to feel like newer is better, and I look back at stuff I worked months (or years) ago and think "boy, how primitive." Sometimes I think that's the correct attitude, and sometimes I think it's just a knee-jerk reaction to the old vs. the new.

The point of all that was that I think that the challenge entry was edited with no less finesse; if you could have gone back and redone your challenge entry with this sort of processing (grain aside), I wouldn't be able to say that I think that this is better. Of course, it's kind of hard to make a direct comparison when the composition differs.

That's my $1.32. ($0.02 for the thoughts, $1.30 for S&H)
