 Im entering this because I LOVE it! I like the feel the movement the B&W, I like that it's over blown and very high key. I done very little to this image considering the 'freedom' of editing, I could of done this in BASIC too but as I said, I LOVE IT as it is.

I like the black and white contrast, and the long hair draws the eye to look at the overall image.

This image just does not work for me... The face looks very out of place, and the hair looks odd as well. Sorry. :-(

Beautiful image that could be better IMHO without the border.

How wild! I don't think I like the extreme softness on the face as compared to the hair. Its very distracting. The black border is confusing, too.

her face doesn't match the rest of the photo- it is too soft.

The face looks too unnatural to me. Maybe the editing is a little overdone.

i like this, good hairdo and editing, the only thing i would have done was gotten her to look at the camera, it would have been much more powerful

don't care for the processing on the face, a bit distracting

Good news: I like the hair. Bad news: I don't like the border. I don't like her pose. I don't like her face, what did you do to it? Looks like way too much neat image. I don't like that her arm has disappeared.
