Absolutely beautiful color! Great composition and (I assume) natural light. Nice capture of the mood and sense of motion in the hand. Love it!

Awesome! I like your humorous touch. I tryed it too but people just seem to take themselves too seriously instead of focusing on the personality of the pic or the person within it. Anyway ... I like what you've done and the title is perfect too. There's not many photos where partial desaturation works but here it certainly adds to the overall feel. Great job!

Great focus. I like the bleached out parts fading into the background. The only thing I'd like to see is a perfect black somewhere in the pic. If you have Photoshop go to Image - Adjustment - Level and move the left of the 3 triangles to the right. It'll deepen the darks.

Wow. This is freakishly close! I keep trying to see your eyes but I like the mystery. Also I think the large dpo works great here. Awesome job!

I like your frame idea but I don't think the bra exposure was necessary to get a high score. A smaller frame around your face would've been nice. ... I like the cheek highlight ...
