I knew my highlights were blown .. but I really loved her expression and hoped the voters would forgive the highlights. And 26th place wasn't too bad. And besides, it's the first NEW photo to show up in my profile page since March of 2005!!! (talk about a drought)
Here's the entered image:
And my outtakes:

| dwterry, I scored your entry a 7 but looking at your outtakes I'm liking the darker background better. |

Yeah, I'm definitely much more comfortable shooting a dark background, I've done that a lot. With the white background I wanted to throw enough light that the background would lose detail and that's where I ran into trouble with the entered image. But her expression in that image is just unequalled in any of the other images I took that day. I just love how "fun" and "full of life" she always is, and this was the only image that screamed "Angie" to me.

Well this is my entry -
And here are a few of the many outtakes -
  
This is a woman who refuses to let anyone take her photo...she just hates cameras. But I saw something in her and so talked her into doing some shots for me...and she just blew me away with her attitude in front of the camera. |

| Judi, I loved your entry for being "different" from everything else. Of your outtakes though, I gotta say I really like the middle one a lot! |

Now that the challenge is over. I would like to ask about my Studio Portrait that I didn't get to enter. I was a minute late posting. I asked in a thread will the challenge was in the voting stage but it was removed due to the new forum rules. And again I'm sorry for posting while voting was going on.
Could I have a C/C or two? What do you think this would of scored?
Thanks in advance,
-SDW

For the challenge you made a good choice. The only thing I might have done different is to crop it just below the chin on the top. The chin attracts to much viewer attention but cropped below it they still know they are seeing a reflection and are directed more to that fact. You might have even considered inverting it. Perhaps just a bit to much noise reduction was applied to be used as an image effect, but not much.
That being said, the last outtake image is probably the "best" portrait of all the images.
Be sure to tell your reluctant model she did exceptionally well. She did.

Well my submission has scored better then expected.
I just wanted to do something a bit different.
I know this outtake would have scored (a bit) higher, but just read the photographer notes on my challenge submission to undestand why I did what I did.

Taken with the Ixus V3
I didn't enter anything. This was pulled late in the day as I felt it was not sufficiently colourful for a Colour Studio Portrait. |

Don't know why I change the white balance and added some red to my entry at the last minute, here's some of the other Prom shots.

My entry
My outtakes
 
I don't think any would have done any better. I only had a very dark comforter as a background, and she would not cooperate in any way, shape or form. I did have very bright overhead lighting and did not use a flash so I don't know why everything is so dark. |

 I figured I'd get lot's of comments about the wrinkled paper on this one.
Apparantly I was trying to shoot too close to nap time. |
