A strange take on the challenge...I like it! Who'd have though sand and lace went well together? Good luck (7)

I am compelled to vote high on this picture, not only for the sheer fact that I loved Great Expectations and the character Miss Havisham, but also because it is a wonderful picture! It captures the madness that was her character, and I love the way the eyes seem to hollow out because of her depression and emptiness (whether it was done intentionally or not). Well done!

You have a stunning little model here, you're sure to make some great photos of her in the future.

My idea to change this photo:
Have her lay down on her back with strong, diffused light in the room or outdoors. Completely surround her head with green apples so just her face is popping through. Shoot with a deep dof, maybe F/16 so everything is in complete focus and there you go. Just an idea for a re-shoot if you wanted to try it.

Perhaps this would have done better if you had got both in focus, the eyes and the apples. Maybe with the model holding the apple up to her face or something (I dunno). As it is, I really like this shot and I think you should have maybe placed a little higher :/ Her eyes are incredible - good idea for the challenge.

Ah, you got robbed! One of my top pic(k)s. I think those green eyes comply in an excellent way with the apples. Maybe they should have been in focus for DPC? I like it like that.

the blemish on her left cheek (by her nose) is distracting, but other than that i like it.
