Wooo Nasti best score yet, and another 4th place AGAIN! Close though and one day you'll get a ribbon, I haven't seen anyone else here on DPC with a 6.2 average and no ribbons....

Originally posted by Kylie: EDIT: after so much variance in the interpretation of the challenge, I am coming back through and this time judging on photogrpahic quality only, and not if it meets the challenge within reason. Bumping up.

Looks like you changed a lot of your comments after the fact :)

I used normal studio lighting with no filters, the girl was very blond and with fair skin, I used some close to white make up, white lipstick and white mascara also. Her hair was sprayed with some ice spray. The original photo was close to light itself. then I turned it into monotoe, duotone with a light tint of blue. sRGB+sharpen. I think a good thing for this photo was that I used a hair spot from the right top corner and it shines through her hair to make them look lighter.
thank you everyone for such nice comments, the girl is a real beauty, i think I will do more things with her in the future.

Very Very nice indeed.
And again, just outside the ribbon....
But congrats on your 4th place...
Not a ribbon you won, but this must be worth a pannenkoek....

I can't believe you came so close to a ribbon, and walked away empty handed yet again. Another outstanding photo from a true master.

First initial impression was the same as ursula's - reminded me of Barbra Streisand. Very nicely done shot. I could see this as an album cover.

Comment by ursula:
Beautiful shot, congratulations! She reminds me of Barbra Streisand somehow, much younger though (duh!). You do good work.
