Congrats on the top-five! I do love the moody vibe here, and the framing and processing definitely help bring it out.

Okay...the craft is clearly here. Now I'm dying to know the artist's statement behind it. :-)

It's a non-traditional glamour portrait, to be sure, but one that definitely captures the beauty of its subject in a setting where the traditional trappings of glamour (i.e., jewelry, makeup, dress attire, etc.) are all clearly present. I love the smile--and the fact that the presence of braces on the subject's teeth are actually genuinely flattering because of how you've framed the shot.

It's funny -- I instantly registered the delightful Audrey Hepburn inspiration for this, but it took me a while to catch the Breakfast at Tiffany's reference. :-P

A beautiful portrait all around. Honestly, I don't see any issue with the nose, either. I love the personality radiating from the expression. It's clear your daughter has learned to trust your instincts behind the camera--and I have much to learn from that. :-)

Congrats on a well-deserved win!

The Chase

I really enjoyed this image. It's really well captured--especially with not just one, but two riders relatively crisply in focus for such a kinetic composition. I'm sure its placement here only stems from the lack of dramatic background blur. But in the upcoming Sports challenge, for instance, this would have been a major contender! Congrats.

Very interesting perspective. I stared at this a long time pondering the title, so I'm glad you shared your clarifying image. :-)

I wondered if this was accomplished with a GoPro. :-) One of my higher scores in the challenge for the creativity here--and for the upending of expectations. I'm assuming that to accomplish this, you had to remain relative stationary as the subject, and the camera itself had to be in dramatic motion instead?
