Very nice composition. Nice colors. Detail lost in the dress though.

I like the effect of highlighting the face. I like the overall composition and the mood it creates (rught out of the 60's). I will be interested in seeing how you did it! Good luck.

What a strange effect. The lighting overall is very nice and even. Might have worked really wel for the partrait challenge as well (without the crazy mirror effect though).

This is an incredible shot. The black dress seems to take up an awful lot of space, but then again, it helps focus your eyes to hers. Amazing.

You simply can't find more amazing creatures in your wildest imagination. Sea life is quite astonishing.

Glad to see some appreciation for this style, as, sadly, I thought it would struggle ... judging from my previous experience in the portrait challenge.

I echo the sentiments of the previous 3 commenters..great work, well done.

Scores like this make me want to boycott this site. This is an unbelievable photo of a beautiful face. Maybe it's not everyone's style, but scores like that just confirms that left to their own devices, people are stupid.

This is beautiful.

**edited later once I wasn't so peeved: ok, so people may not be stupid so much, but I get tired of all the "inside the box" voting.

I cannot believe work like this can go so un-noticed by so many voters. I understand art is subjective, but it seems so many of the voters only see the technical aspects in photography. This is a modern style with the exposure so exaggerated it is clearly intentional. I really hoped this one would do better in the challenge.
