Fun shot! You're pretty even in curlers! Nice compositon, and think the high key lighting and soft focus go well together.

The white background combined with your neutral facial expression makes this feel like a rather sterile photograph to me. Still, the rollers are great, and I like the white space... I'm just not sure what it's saying. And even though the name indicates you're getting ready, the 'location' of the picture indicates more of a prepared shot. Perhaps if there was a mirror or something? some other prop. still, I like it :)

Awesome! I like your humorous touch. I tryed it too but people just seem to take themselves too seriously instead of focusing on the personality of the pic or the person within it. Anyway ... I like what you've done and the title is perfect too. There's not many photos where partial desaturation works but here it certainly adds to the overall feel. Great job!

Interesting self-portrait. Nice duotone and I like how you kept color in the eyes. That is a nice touch. Nice use of the ROT and good technical quality. This also revels that you don't take yourself too seriously

Not only are you gorgeous, but your portrait is stunning... I love the hair...very creative. The eyes are gripping. Negative space is effective, and creates a simple clean image of who you are. My pic of the competition. 10.

I just love your expression there. The negative space works well. For some reason I have to smile when I look at this pic :-) Good job - 9.
