Gorgeuous photo, but there's an eerieness with that girl on the right, almost like a ghost caught in a photo.

Good idea but I find myself being instantly and permanently transfixed to the lovely high key figure in the background - I'm sure I'm not supposed to but this is the way it works for me - sorry.

Comment by jpochard:
Beauty is a subjective thing, I know. In my scoring and comments I'm trying to score based on NOT whether or not I would think a particular subject beautiful, but on whether the photographer has succeeded in creating a beautiful photo. I look for the elements of color, lines, focus and dof interest, lighting, and a certain element of grace and lovlieness. I'm looking for a unique and creative appeal for the highest scorers. The description says to create a photo that makes the viewer think "that's beautiful", so it will undoubtedly be very subjective. (This is what I'm putting at the start of all of my comments, and I hope it is helpful.)

That being said, I don't get a whole lot from this photo. I like the sheer fabrics, but I can't really tell what's happening here. I think part of the drawback for me is that there is a lot going on in the background. It seems to distract from the major elements of the front woman and the material. I haven't seen the color version, but these tones don't seem to add interest to the shot for me. I do like the unique subject and the flow of the material, but it just doesn't make me think "beautiful."
