Is that a velvet backdrop? I can see a bit of it's texture. Maybe bringing up the shadow tones a touch in levels would have fixed it. Fun idea. Fly away cup LOL

Oh, yes, forgot to mention, this was a 10 for me. It just conveys so much.

I'm amazed this got under six. don't let that get you down though. excellent capture. fantastic expression captured. love the use of negative space. love your title. love the lightin. the shot screams of music to me, which is incredible as there is no musical instrument in here.
love the portrait. got a 7 from me... which should have been 8 in revision. sorry :-)

thanks for you support, i didnt mind too much. in the last 2 days it went from a 5.4 to the current score AND i got a 8 from jj! I determined at the start to enter a portrait every f/s this year to try and learn my new lights so we'll see how it goes.
