very polished shot - the rich purple top really gives this a glamourous look

Is "Deep Purple" the subject matter we should be interested in here? Your model is very attractive and doesn't need the "sex sells" approach IMO. You've done a very nice job with lighting and all technical aspects of this challenge entry. Good luck.

Including her legs and hand in such a fragmented way weakened what I think is a fabulous portrait. I would maybe have cropped 1/2 way up into her right breast.

I love the simplicity in this one. It should have scored so much higher!

Horizon is not level and the tree is too centered. Too bad, nicely focused and good B & W conversion

An incredible portrait that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being richly colored with excellant detail. This image would have worked as a black and white as well. A perfect demonstration of the power of properly controlled light and focus. Well done.
