Smokin' and I'm not big on pretty model pics either. Very well done.

Good modelling shot!
03/17/2009 04:50:07 PM
Those wheels are awfully new looking for a skateboard that sees any use!

Beautiful model, very well composed and executed.

Beautiful blue eyes. Nice pose and prop. Shadow slightly distracting because of its odd form.

Most excellent job with the lighting :) From the looks of her thighs , model looks slightly cold though. Extreme sports with extreme clothing hehe. (no vote)

cool capture

Awesome capture and presentation. Gorgeous. But focus could be just a bit stronger.
03/15/2009 07:02:32 PM
Looks like a great advertising shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 06:31:26 PM
Neat idea. I like her eyes a lot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 06:11:50 PM
Not sure I'm in love with the title but I do love the rest. Wonderful model, great pose, well lit, sharp and well composed. Another of my 10’s!

Great shot, the post processing and lighting are excellent.

Great advertisement, I bet you would have a bunch of people signed up after see this cool shot. Nice work.

If this was a challenge conected with extreme sports and (very) gorgeous models I think you would be looking at a ribbon for this great image. It is also technically very good. What looks like a small bruise on her right thigh is a very minor point (only because everything else is so good does it stand out) but overall I really like it and it gets an 8 from me. Well done and all the best for the rest of the challenge.

This looks like it belongs in a men's magazine or pin-up calendar and since I am not a man, it really does nothing for me. Yes, it's clear and the technicals look pretty good. But other than that, nothing. Sorry.

Nice shot but I find these shots a bit sterile, good for the style though
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Interesting use of reflective floor. Nice white background. Beautiful model
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 10:51:28 PM
i was originally not thinking i would like this, but its actually really cool. excellent quality. her eyes just pop even though they arent a huge part of the photo. so yeh, you got me:)8

03/14/2009 07:10:08 PM
Nice. ;-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 06:09:17 PM
Beautiful use of sensuality. Her eyes are awesome. Her pose is simultaneously clean but somewhat suggestive. Great work, here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 05:40:11 PM
Nice job. Love the white background. It works well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 02:22:25 PM
Technically very well done, but nothing to keep my attention or draw me in.
03/14/2009 07:59:19 AM
Nice studio portrait, although the reflection, while providing a valid "floor", distracts a little.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 07:57:04 AM
Pretty girl.. a sharper focus on her face would be better though
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 05:55:03 AM
She doesn't look like a sports type to me, but it's a very nice portrait.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 05:33:05 AM
nice - shame about brusie on leg...awesome face processing...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 04:25:43 AM
really nice lighting and skin tones. Not really sure about the setup with the dress and skateboard but technically it's fantastic - 8

wonderful shot, clear crisp focus, excellent colors (personally...I don't like the hat...minor detail)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

She doesn't strike me as a skateboarder :) Great focus and I like the shadows

beautiful model, interesting pose, flawless light.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 09:13:30 PM
very well lit. Her face seems a bit over-processed though. Bumping up.
03/12/2009 07:45:33 PM
excellent , only thing I felt was that the title did not fit the shot. Anyway this did not affect my scoring in anyway. 8

Skateboarders didn't look like that when I was a kid :)

after 459 others I have to say that this is more of a gem than most
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 03:43:03 PM
Beautiful lady, nice comp and lighting. I think you lost sharpness in the resizing and when I try to focus on her face the resulting blur hurts my eyes.
... or maybe I'm just looking at too many photos!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 02:27:10 PM
Nice portrait. Post processing works well but her face is much lighter than her legs.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 01:43:10 PM
love it 8

Great tones and lighting. A simple shot well executed.
03/11/2009 09:58:23 PM
those sure are blue eyes! nicely smoothed skin also...
03/11/2009 08:27:27 PM
Cute model. Must be a Tony Hawk fan. Good lighting, focus, pose. Nice, nice.

03/11/2009 04:58:17 PM
hmmm
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 04:16:31 PM
The skateboard and hat give her a real rebel look... although the sexy pose, and skirt contradict that. Regardless, I like the shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 02:04:01 PM
excellent portrait ...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 01:08:41 PM
Would make a great poster for extreme sports! Nice & crisp....I'm not necessarily a fan of the tight portrait orientation - I want to see more negative space on either side of the gal. But still, awesome capture! Great eyes!

Very nice pic.................I LOVE SKATEBOARDING (:

03/11/2009 11:13:56 AM
way too fake looking, ease up on the retouching on the face. also, if your going to over edit, might as well get rid of the skin blotches on the legs...

As she hugged it close to her, she knew that it was taboo. It was unnatural they said. It was against all that they held dear and sacred.

A supermodel should never learn to skateboard and to love the sport as she did!

Think about the legs! No company would insure them if she kept up this unholy activity!

Yet she defied them all, and her love for her board became legendary.
