clever. Perhaps difusing the light source a bit and an USM would have improved it, but nice work.

She reminds me of the designer Laurie Smith - from Trading Spaces (sans the red hair). I like the casualness of it.

I love this pix. You captured a beautiful expression. Love the lighting too.

Cool use of light and object. Just what Abstract is all about. I'd have preferred it without the surface flare but I haven't marked it down because of it. I HAVE marked it a point down though because you haven't rotated it and squared it up. It looks like a sloppy job even though I know it wasn't because of the work in lighting and setup.

EXCELLENT!!!! Makes you want to yell "Bombs away!!" Lovely rich colors and sharp clarity - you managed to stop a second in time in perfect focus.

I had the same idea (red background shot through a cheese grater) but I rejected those shots. It seems like it would be very interesting but ultimately it doesn't make a visually compelling image (which is why I rejected my own version of this idea). Not terrible though.
