You know, I've never been a James Bond fan so I really can't tell how well this meets the challenge. This however, is a really nice portrait. I think the color and texture is great and would like to know how you did that. At first, I thought the texture was just the background but when I looked closely, I could see it in the face also. Great shot! 10

I think I am finally recognizing you, if this is Svetlana. A fine Surrealist landscape. You are perhaps inhabiting a tear. 9

Yes, very nice! I love the vintage look you created here. Lighting and colors are excellent. She has a beautiful but shy expression - that works. Minus: too less negative space above her head. That makes the shot a bit "narrow" if you know what I mean.

Lighting, pose and treatment are spot on. I can handle the angle, but maybe just a slightly different crop.
Whatever I love it as always.

Wow. Interesting take on this challenge. Beautiful and artistic like early photographs yet much like a painting. The expression, costume and lighting is fantastic.

Excellent portrait: the expression and poose, the pastels, the texture and the antique mood.
I also like your interpretation of the challenge, which is a little "pushy" and unconventional when comparing with most of entries, but I bought it! 10.

I very much light the post-processing on this, as it adds an old-world feel. It reminds me so much of the photos of the Romanovs, especially Grand Duchess Tatiana. Besides, it is very clever and funny. Great job!
