You managed to pull alot out of this image. The background really comes through nicely and provides a nice focus point. I'm glad someone could help you with the post processing. 7

To start with, welcome to DPC. Thought I would leave a comment after I saw that you didn't receive very many comments during the challenge. Although you didn't get very many, the ones you did get gave you a ton of information (although, a little cryptic maybe).

First, I love your subject and the look on her face. This is a wonderful capture. However, your image does have a red tint to it that is easily fixed using post processing. Since I don't know which software you are using, it is very difficult to suggest the easiest way to correct this but it can be done with Hue/Saturation or with Curves. The soft touch filter you applied to this image probably hurt your score more than the white issue. The DPC crowd really likes the eyes to be sharp especially with an image like yours where the eyes really engage the viewer. Third, almost every image looses sharpness when it is downsized to 640 pixels. This made your Soft Filter even softer.

You really did a great job for your first challenge. I would be happy to help with more detailed processing steps if you would like to PM me.

Chris,

I was one of your 8 scores and I loved the finger motion for conveying the concept of sound. Belive it or not, I gave the blue ribbon winner the same score as yours. Not bad company to hang out with. Just wanted you to know that I enjoyed your image and that I am glad you entered it.

Back to comment: I love the concept but the lighting need to be more dramatic. As is, the B&W conversion doesn't have enough contrast. You might want to check out the tutorial in the Learn drop down menu. Still worth a 7 for the great use of motion to convey sound.
