Wow! This is so striking. You and that stunning red hair and black outfit against all that white. . .ok. . .I'll quit gushing now. Should have been in the top few if ya ask me.

Following up on my comment.
I see that you shot this in ISO 1000, which would account for the noise in the black of your outfit.

Interesting choice. Was it accidental or purposely? I'm interested in learning which, and why

"Just"
HA - nothing "just" about you!
I nearly didn't recognize you in clothes, but I suspected it was you cuz' your hair's on fire!

You included all the important objects of your occupation without overwhelming the viewer. Camera, lighting, colors, a beautiful model, and the illustrative pose. Well thought out and executed. My top vote.

hey - that is one pretty lady - probably too pretty to be behind the camera...

i like the use of the umbrellas to frame you - i just wonder if your face should be lit just a bit more

It looks like you lost detail in this shoot, and then tried to recover by either pushing the exposure, or using a little too much "fill light" or shadow/highlight adjustments. The end result is that the black in the clothing is noisy and splotchy, and detail is next to non-existent in the hair and face.

While I like the idea of the background, it falls off by being too cluttered in the lower corner.

I want to like this effort, but it feels rushed and lacking in self-respect, to a point. It also loses points because you've chosen this to represent photography as your profession, which says to me, "I rush things and don't care too much about polish and finish."

the umbrellas exploding in the background scream anything but "just me". Daring shot for DCP voter trolls - I am happy to vote my conscience

Wonderful color combo of black white and red, and very well handled tones throughout.

I think I know you. Nice self portrait. Exposure is spot on considering this must have been tricky with the high contrast subjects in the shot. Beautiful whites.

And model.

You really should be on the other end of the glass. This would make a nice advert for Canon. Keep up the gorgeus work, gorgeous.

Well, no, Judi, there's your clothes, too. ;) That's a nice pose - emphasizes your long, lean look, and the background is simple but effective in supporting your camera as showing your occupation. Nice job!

Your hair coordinates with that Canon neckstrap quite nicely. Nice self portrait, though your face is a little in shadows.
