Ok, there is a ragining debte about people's voting habits at the moment, so i will attempt to give a detailed comment with my vote:

This seems to me like a simple shot that didn;t take muc htime to do. No controlled lighting which is fine if there is something else to compensate for it but htis shot doesn't. It's a basic shot with no capture of a specific moment. it's a girl standing between two buses. The crop is also a little off i find. The feet are cut off which makes it a little ackward i find. The focus is there and you obvisouly meet hte challenge. But it's an average shot. 5

Good photo potential, but a few issues will probably drag your score down to the low 5s...
All of the verticals and the horizon are tilted to the left (and not enough to appear intentional). DPCers are brutal on tilted horizons. I would have cropped just over the head to reduce that large area of white sky, and the B&W conversion seems flat (like a straight desaturation). If you have Photoshop, try using Channel mixer for conversion with Green as the dominate channel. Any or all of these flaws could have been overcome with a strong expression from the model, but this girl just looks like she doesn't want to be there, and there's no apparent connection between her and the buses. Take a look at a cropped, straighter version with a channel mixer conversion and I think you'll understand. ;-)

Loving it! Personally I am all for the border, just my taste. Keep it up!

Comment by cogerox:
Lovely, delicate mouth and chin. Hands are intense, but relaxed. And, just a whisp of hair to finish it. Outstanding. Agree with the comment about the heart being obscured, however. And, I think the border does distract quite a bit.

Comment by SJCarter:
This has a very strong emotive quality. It's a little dark and grainy for my personal taste, BUT I understand the artistic reasons for doing it. Good shot.
