Comment by torfis:
I just love your choice of subject. Faded velour couches definitely evoke a strong sense of nostalgia (at least for me). I think contrast is the main issue here. For example, is there a way that you could have emphasized the difference between the faded and not-so-faded partch of the fabric (perhaps more sharpening?). I really think you have a good image here but that it needs a little bit of a boost from post-processing.

This is fantastic! I love the high-key here. The eyes are amazing...and I like the red, red lips, too. I can't decide whether or not the hair in the upper left corner works or not, though...
Well anyways, super shot here!

We all know what the challenge title is. It is too bad that you could not take the time to be more creative with your titleing.

nice idea, minimalistic, b&w's ok, nice texture, lighting ok, color ok, overall nice

For this contest everyone who has the word �circle� in their title is getting a max 10 score. This is a copy and paste version that I am including in every photo that I upgrade to 10 due to the title. We as members of DPchallenge need to be reminded of the topic of the challenge � we really need to reread the topic every time we reach a photo. If circle is in the title and it is appropriate I will give a 10. I am sorry if you do not agree with my method of voting � but scores are all I have.

focus is too soft, and colors too shallow on the flower
