Congratulations - I knew this would make the front page - fantastic model and props. Just had to mention that this comment, as I have commented before in the voting phase, brought me to the nice round # of 3 thousand comments and I couldn't have picked a better shot to reach this milestone on.

edited to add a bunch of boring info lol

Annihilate the Alien

Usually I don't put my post comments in here but WTH .. here are my thoughts on my entry .. it was campy .. sci fi movies were made in that time frame .. the man in the shot that scooter wants me to get rid of is my hubby, so no chance of that (big grin) .. I asked him to look .. well, stiff and grade B - he did it perfectly in my opinion. I am so glad I entered this challenge even though I have never scored this low .. I voted on this challenge and was more than happy to give out scores a lot higher than I received and damn that made me feel good! Thanks for all of your comments. 13 THIRTEEN 3's - sheesh.

Well now, What to tell you first - I love her pose, she is beautiful and elegant and very 40's to 50's looking - the fact that you choose to make all of her soft except her eyes is very compelling .. an 8 from me

The Hungry Friar

Comment:
Not your normal film noir processing .. I can't see any pure whites in it but - I like it .. it allows me to tell a story without the ending being made clear by the photographer. I like how you have interpreted the challenge and am voting this a 7

edited to fix my usual terrible grammar. :(

Love the campy 80's horror feel .. nice break from cigarettes and blinds and it made me laugh which gets an extra 2 points .. 8

Train Noir, 2011

Comment:
A nice break from looking at the B&W shots thank you - I really like how you pped this shot .. the wonderful textured strip of metal leads your eye to the oof focus man walking - to where? There is the start of my story. I gave this an 8 earlier and just came back to comment.

This portrait really captures the mood of film noir - really looks like a shot from that era - beautifully lit and pped. 8

Femmes Fatale Interconnectables

Comment:
Very interesting composition and an unusual take on the challenge (which makes me really like it more) great job exposing it so well - I like the white patches (high contrast) on her shoulders and arms - 8

Who Doesn't Like Grandma's Cookies?

Comment:
I gave this a 10 and would have given it 11 if I could have. You have one heck of a great model - her expression is frightening - for some reason her age makes her even more frightening because my mind imagines how many victims she slaughtered in her lifetime .. excellent lighting and pping.
