Ok, so I had my ISO set to the max when I took this picture because I was shooting in a dark place a couple days before. Being the silly person I am, I forgot to change it back, and yah, I had some grain to deal with. Oh well, I was pretty pleased with the outcome anyways :)

The distracting pattern that people were talking about in the top right corner is the nylons I was wearing. I am sitting in a really weird position under the camera and the is my knee up beside my head :P

Beautiful one, I like it alot, the only comment I have is about that piece of cloth in the top right corner, maybe I would of used the burn tool or something to make it disapear, there is no need for it. It's great anyways, 10!

A nice shot, but I wonder if it would have been more striking without the hands.

dramatic.. and beautiful... love it..
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/13/2007 11:28:15 PM
WOW ... IN MY FACE! ... Cropping a TAD off the left would hit her right between the eyes with the "rule of thirds" horizontally and vertically and make it a 10 for me. It is not an unbreakable rule but I think would rock for this photo. 9

very nicely done!

the false eyelashes take your attentions away from the beauty of the face, the focus is good.

9. It is refreshing to see something this great after 3 days of painful voting. Lighting, posing and b&w treatment are all perfect. One flaw for me, the crop hit the left wrist. I want to see just a tiny bit of her arm

fantastic eyes - 7

I like how this shot is different. Her make-up, hair-do, jewels and clothing all fit together nicely to create a special look, which is emphasized by her look. I like that you decided to take the photo from above.. a unique perspective which fit her.

I don't like how the second hand seems to drop in from the outside (right one on the photo). At first i didn't have the idea it was one of hers really. I would have preferred it if it was connected to the body as the first one (left on the photo) is. vote=7

stunning...the pattern at the top right is distracting and could have been muted out of the image in my opinion, but this is really stunning

Wow, the eyelashes! interesting pose
