I have to tell you, this shot creeps me out! The emotional payload is fantastic! She is NOT someone I think I would enjoy getting to know although a smile could change her appearance completely. It's weird, the business suit is so out of chartacter with her punked up hair but the collar rescues the contradiction. The cross says something else altogether. Apparently nothing under the suit ... what does that tell me? I have returned to this photo often and bumped it up each time. Among my favorites and hope it ribbons! Good luck.

Communicates "anger" to me, as well as perhaps a bit of insecurity. I think the contrasty lighting, while maybe a bit harsh, is well used for this portrait. ...7...

Composition: The composition on this photograph is outstanding. Your use of diagonal line gives a real strength to the composition

Colors: Wow, I can not admire the colors enough. They are absolutely beautiful!

Lighting: The time of day that this was taken must have been late afternoon or early evening as the light seems so magical. The sky seems to glow. Just wonderful.

Technical Quality: I am not really a person to give you great criticism on the technical aspects of your photograph, but Ii do notice the slight darkening towards the corners. I am not sure what caused this, but I might guess it is a function of your lens, or filter. Its is not overly distracting, but something I did notice.

Meeting Challenge: I have read some of your other comments and I have to agree that zI do not see a hidden face here. You might see a face, but for the masses of voters on DPC, it might be just a little too subtle.

Overall: Overall this is a beautiful photograph and well executed. The biggest problem I have with it is the inability to find a face even after looking for a long time. Well done in all other ways.

It's too bad about your score - this is a beautiful image.

I may have a really good imagination cause nobody else seems to see it, but I see the two box-like eyes and a big grin full of teeth (the windows), yeah? Cool pic, love the tone.

What a wonderful photograph! Composition is excellent, lighting is spot on... fascinating to my eye.

Is there a face in there somewhere??? (I'm giving a 7 without one, but...)

Hmmmm... I've looked at this twice now and still don't see a face. Nice image though. Like the tonality.
