Thank you very much. The comments were excellent and I'm so pleased this scored well.
Some of you I'm sure recognize the face, I've used her often enough. Her name is Jacqueline and she's my daughter. She's matured into a beautiful young woman and it's hard to believe that she's still willing to pose after all these years. I know that the images tend to be a bit repetitious but I don't care. For me it's a matter of preference of style and I do believe that after a while we do get better with our technique. I can't think of a better way to keep a tight bond with my kids and I know that one day she'll look back fondly at the experiences we've shared and she might also cherish some of the very cool images of herself after I'm gone. Far better than any ribbon I think.

Rudy, your daughter is flawlessly beautiful -- breathtaking as a matter of fact! Like a porcelain doll! And this particular photograph is brilliantly Asian. A no-brainer for a blue ribbon. Congratulations, and I think you are so right. There is so much more here than the challenge: This will live on long after the challenge and even the ribbon is a distant memory.
Rudy, another great portrait. Keep these coming! It's so wonderful that you get to share this with your daughter. You are indeed a lucky man to be able to keep the bond so strong. Congrats!
Beautiful job with the make up and I like the sorta reverse desat thing, keeping her face in B&W. Very cleanly and well done, that. And your daughter really does make for a stunning, gorgeous model - if I were you, I'd photograph her as often as possible, too. Congrats on the blue!
brilliant rudy .. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR RIBBON and a fantastic score ... and i totally agree with your sentiments .. it can be a wonderful bonding experience with your kids if they agree to pose for you and i'm sure she'll cherish the photographs you've taken of her .. 'cherish' .. appropriate choice of words there .. :)
A truly beautiful image. The lighting, make-up, background and composition all come together to make this a very interesting and alluring image. The only distraction I find in this image is the softness on the model's right side.
If I were a betting man I would hazard a guess that this is an image produced by Qart, and if it isn't then you have done a remarkable job of replicating his style. Very nicely done indeed, and I do anticipate seeing this on the front page once the results are in.
Nice makeup and the kitchen sink, as well. DPC will fall all over themselves with this one. I kinda wish you had done something more interesting in terms of a pose or something with delicate, graceful hands. So, beyond the great makeup and dress, it doesn't really shake compared to others in your portfolio. Think, Gene Simmons...
the idea is securely aceptable and well done. the result is very funny and very winning. particulary I like the work on the face of the model, the white is perfect, the shadows soft,the colours are vivid. little least of sharpness on the umbrella. 9
