 Many thanks to my model who went through this set up twice!! I screwed up the iso setting the first time and when I checked it on the computer there was way too much grain. I had to beg and plead my young model(my daughter) to allow me to once again place a thousand (my estimate) reflected sticky dots on her face.

This was shot with one lightbulb to the models left. I like this pic a lot I hope the voters do as well

WOW - This is such a great picture! I agree with others that a tighter crop on the bottom would have further improved this pic. I love it and 5.4 is way underscored!

The strap on her shoulder is a bit distracting to me.

You get my vote just for putting those on your face

Cool. Perhaps cropping the picture so that you can only see the model's face would be beneficial? Excellent job though. Props for effort.

Great eyes! The strap on the shoulder detracts.

Very cool shot! I'll be curious to read the details on this one, since this almost looks to me like the sparkly things were attached to her face, as opposed to it being a mask of some sort. Anyway, job well done!

Nice portrait, a real good idea, however the flash reflex is too present on the front. Good focus on the eyes.

Nice composition, eyecontact, effect of face texture.

Critique/suggestions for improvements: could perhaps be cropped tighter in the bottom

Wondefully dramatic shot, the lighting could have been a bit harsher, but I still love it. 9

how interesting!! what are those things?

Looks like a lot of work...but worth it. I'd be tempted to crop at the chin and ear?

Really different. Grabs my attention. Good shot.

Totally unique photo and a good capture at that. Your lighting worked well. I'd give a 10, but the strap on the shoulder is distracting for this photo. 9

This is amazing. I'd not have the black strap on her shoulder, but the rest of the photo is phenomenal. Love the reflective "mermaid" sense of her face.
