I think a better title would have been, man I feel like a woman. I think that the overall photo was voted down more for subject matter than with the overall technicals of the photo. I know when I look at this during voting, It really suprised me to see this photo. I gave you a 6 BTW.
The six I gave was because of the soft tones on the face and the light spot in the upper right of the photo, and I found the actual hair (not the reflection) in the foreground slightly distracting. I do like the lighting and the composition overall. A bit deeper DOF would have helped the facial area and the hair in the foreground I believe.
I think you will do very well in the cross dressing challenge, but IMO, I do not think this was expected and caught speed voters off guard.
Very well exposed here as her face is really nicely lit.
Not a bad idea with the omposition here either.
I hope i don't offend anyone here, but my first thoughts were it's a man in drag...? :/
