...so I will comment on the one that jumps out in your profile!
Great job on this. A strong finish in a tough challenge also. Only recommendation would be to have used a black background. Well done though. :)

Great portrait! The lighting is even and the eyes captivating! I love the yinyang set up! great expressions! IMHO, I might have kept this one dead center by cropping out the left side of it? well done!

Unusual choice for the challenge. I love the contrast of the girls skin and hair. Pretty girls. Light seems a tad much on the fair skinned one though, although Im sure this is hard to control.

The first thing I see is the contrast between their skin. The eyes are aligned but that's not what I take from this. Perhaps if they were wearing more eye makeup it would demand more attention?

Nice study in contrasts. Good portrait too. I like the way the two girls' skin tones come accross completely differently.

i think the heads should be placed to the left more to make it perfectly symmetrical. also, the head on the right seems a bit overexposed. exposure might have been off because the black shirts might have messed with the exposure calculation

I like the concept very much, andt the overall look, but the shot seems a bit overexposed for my taste.

Gorgeous eyes!

So refreshing ! Very nice !
I maybe would have appreciated to see them smiling ...

Love the composition and upside down idea, all the redheads get an extra point, 8.

I don't like the look of the blond girl. (Bored? Uninterested?) But the red girl would be somebody that I would love to shoot myself. Great model!
Oh this is a compliment ;)

Cool idea and the eyes match each other so well for that extra effect! Just not sure about the alignment of the heads - seems a bit off center and tilted. Maybe this was intentional ...?

out of focus :(

Great shot. I wasn't sure when I glanced at the tumbnail, but when it opened... wow. Excellent job, I love the lighting.

Great photo, I like the unique perspective.

i really like this one...:)

Cool shot. I wonder how this would look with it croppe in from the left so it was similar to the cropping on the right? Cool photo - good luck in the challenge. 8

tough to get the right color balance with two subjects with such different skin tones, the girl on the left looks right but the fairer one looks a touch washed out with blue highlights. on the whole a good shot but it could have been more pleasing with a bit less blue.

They are beautiful and having amazing eyes. I like their opposing poses. Great point of view. Hope this reaches the top 10.

Unique pose and use of two models.... I think if their facial color were the same or more different or perhaps if they had matching lipstick it would bring them even closer together.

Cute idea and it works somewhat for me. The lighting seems to be well done, although the lighter complexion seems maybe a bit washed out. Colors and tones seem really good other than that, and I especially like that the eyes stand out. I would really have preferred just one model right side up, laying down. The two model pose is unique (somewhat) but just hard to look at for me.

I think this would have worked with only one model. An interesting picture, but not a portrait.

the eye-lining effect is truly intriguing... even makes the rest look like background (incl. too pale paleness on the right face)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
09/13/2005 10:11:15 AM
What beautiful girls! I like the opposite positioning. I like how the eyes are level too. Good Luck in the challenge!

Cool set up. Nice skins. Whis tha upside down girl had her lips closed. 6

Very nice portrait. If I have to find something to bitch about, it's maybe that the light sources seem almost to have two separate WB issues. One light source looks warmer than the other. Great photo.

The lighting is too harsh on the red head. Her skin is so translucent and fair, the lighting makes it too washed out.

very nice!

original! makes a change from all the 'standard portraits' -- nice! : )

nice idea...would have had more impact if the "eyeline" was straighter
  Photographer found comment helpful.
09/12/2005 03:15:16 AM
Cool shot, great idea. The light is a tad harsh especially on the girl on the right.
