So sorry this did not score higher. Well done on the posthumous ribbon, hope it compensates in some way.

Interesting commentary piece.
03/17/2009 04:24:39 PM
contrast works in your favor to bring subject in veiw.
03/17/2009 12:10:42 PM
Lovely and intriguing B&W image. Good lighting and contrast.
03/16/2009 11:52:50 PM
Interesting head dress, bangles, and "glove".
03/16/2009 11:03:43 PM
Nice BW... I want to see her face a bit more, though.

Not voting yet.

Cool headdress, it really steals the show.
03/16/2009 05:04:09 PM
curious if you tried a square crop?
03/16/2009 02:40:23 PM
Nice shot.
03/16/2009 11:15:16 AM
Fantastic, even better that it is b+w!
03/16/2009 07:59:20 AM
Nicely captured:) love that indian spirit
03/15/2009 11:15:14 PM
Nice shot, very well managed.
03/15/2009 12:04:04 PM
Very interesting, I'm wondering why she is dressed like that. Not so sure I like the centered composition, all the negative space on the sides isn't doing anything for me.
03/15/2009 11:59:59 AM
Very nice documentary image.
03/15/2009 10:51:16 AM
dramatic and mysterious..
03/15/2009 10:26:25 AM
Very cool character, and some fun light.
03/15/2009 09:16:21 AM
interesting portrait - too many things and details , my eyes keep focus on her hand instead of her face
03/15/2009 08:32:27 AM
nice conversion to black and white
03/15/2009 05:56:02 AM
hm, interesting ..

really nice lighting and composition, great shot
03/13/2009 11:28:14 PM
Surrealism through fakeness... evoking very real feelings with artifice. Your title matches the mood. Posthumous Yellow Ribbon.

03/13/2009 10:13:09 PM
Nice portrait, intersting outfit
03/13/2009 09:17:05 PM
Well lit to focus attention right where you want it.
03/13/2009 06:05:20 PM
Wonderful lighting and a good balance of light and dark that really isolates the subject
03/13/2009 04:29:50 PM
the photo does not engage me...sorry
03/13/2009 01:54:58 PM
This is very interesting; can't wait to here the story behind it in the comments.
03/13/2009 03:17:23 AM
Very good job capturing the emotion of the moment.
03/13/2009 01:04:51 AM
This really has an old movie feel to it. Nice lighting and processing.
03/12/2009 09:03:36 PM
Nice scene, but I'd crop away some of the darkness on one side of the other.
03/12/2009 08:45:11 PM
So much to look at in her costume. Almost wonder if I would like it better a little more tightly cropped for the details.
03/12/2009 06:51:39 PM
Without the color the garment and head dress look a little to busy. Still, nice capture.
03/12/2009 05:25:36 PM
She covered her face, the tears threatening a little, and once more she wondered if this was the right thing to do. It had happened so fast, for both of them, and now she was caught in this wonderful, frightening, chaotic thing. This day that was meant for joy and happiness but was also undercut with fear and uncertainty.

She gazed to the floor, and struggled with her anxieties and her fears. What if it was a mistake? What if it all turned out to be for naught? What if...

... and then she glanced up, and caught a glimpse of him, though she was not supposed to, and she saw the smile on his face and the happiness in his eyes, and it was all forgotten. In just that brief moment she saw there the surety that she sought, and she held her head up high, and let them lead her to that place where her future would be set, and she was glad.
03/12/2009 04:36:38 PM
personally i would have cropped the side a bit closer. good b&w,
03/12/2009 02:05:31 PM
Nice shot. Good lighting.
03/12/2009 12:33:24 PM
Very different and love the emotion. I would have cropped more off the left but its still very nice. Good detail and lots of interest.
03/12/2009 10:04:38 AM
interesting outfit
03/12/2009 12:05:35 AM
Oh how I wish we could see the colors in this.
03/11/2009 09:28:39 PM
Why does she make me think of Madonna? lol Good photo!
03/11/2009 11:30:31 AM
She is overwhelmed...this image so well portrays what she may be feeling inside, we can feel the weight of the day with her...excellent work.
03/11/2009 09:03:54 AM
The crop does not quite do it for me, would have cropped off more of the negative space.
03/11/2009 09:02:32 AM
Very ornate.
03/11/2009 03:47:57 AM
Nicely conveyed
03/11/2009 01:39:46 AM
Gorgeous, both the woman and the detail on this. I might have cloned out the background - I think it distracts from the incredible detail of the subject.
03/11/2009 12:49:19 AM
Intriguing. This portrait looks like it has a story behind it... the skin art, the jewelry, and the headdress. Nice shot.
03/11/2009 12:32:40 AM
Ouch - looks painful if those are real tatoos...
