Nice to see you have the same/similar values of what really is important and submitted what YOU wanted, rather than going for the score. There is a certain thing about what we leave behind as a statement of us, in the way of sharing photographs, moments, emotions & sentimental imaging should all our portfolios go poof and someone were to look at what is left - permanent challenges images as a signature. Best wishes to both of you in the years to come.

Forgot to add that this is a stunning image - the connection to the person behind the eyes is strong.

I thought this was yours and I agree that this is by far the best shot to represent your 2007. Many, many good thoughts and wishes to you and your lovely bride!

Very attractive subject, almost like a Kate Winslet. Eyes are beautifully processed and I love the tone on her right cheek. The lighting is a tad harsh on the left side of her face. Well Focused. Good Luck. 6.

This is a really nice B&W portrait, with great sharpness throughout the face and gorgeous skin. Nice job of keeping the exposure in check.

Nice - great eyes!! She must love this portrait. I think perhaps you dont need all the hat, if you crop some off the top it puts her eyes in a more interesting place, not dead center. If you look at model shots, a surprising number have half the hair on top cropped out of the picture. I love all the textures here, her smooth white face, the knitted hat and the fine detail of her hair.

Comment by McJamweasel:
Her right eye looks rather odd, almost like a plasma ball. Not an entirely bad thing, but a bit distracting in this photo. Maybe it's just because that side of her is in shadow.
