No way! I though your image would score higher in this challenge! This is one of the few that really stuck on me!

Cool image, not sure how it will score considering you don't see her face. Is she laying on the floor holing herself up with one shoulder? If so, then I hope for the model's sake that you did not have to do many shots. Holding your body up like that is hard :)

Fabulous shot and crop. The girls is beautiful and her hair and gaze is awesome. I probably would have given you a 10 had it not been for the excessive (in my eyes) retouching of her skin.

Update: what size screen or image size (or what ever it is called) are you working on when you do your process? I just had another look at your image on my macbook, as oppose to the first look which was on my 27'' iMac. The amount of retouching is not nearly as visible on the small macbook screen. I just thought i'd let you know in case other people make similar comments. Perhaps they review the images on bigger screens as well?

I think this is an awesome portrait, but the facial paint is not doing it for me. Her wonderful statuesque manner is great though!

Wonderful portrait, but I have to say this. It is probably really silly of me, but I'll mention it because maybe other people feel the same way. I'm really not trying to be an ass. Maybe I should ask other people in the forum what they think. Anyway...I know it should not matter, but when I see a good image like this one and then notice, what I assume is the image number, in the title I almost (and I emphasise almost) want to give it a lower score than what I intended. It's a great image and I thin it deserves a better title, even if it is "just" Rita. :)

Great shot and crop, however I'm not sure about the processing. I get the feeling that she is not quite as old as this portrait makes her look like. But I'm not sure so I will refrain from giving you a score. Sorry, probably not very helpful.

Stunning girl and great image! Is her left hand (the one with the ring) a little bit soft compared to the rest? Regardless, its a 9 from me!

I would prefer it if both eyes where in focus, but nice shot!
