Manny, when I saw this shot on the front page my heart leapt for joy. My artistic instincts told me it was you. When I clicked through to reveal this piece of heaven in it's full glory, my soul soared to the stratosphere, my spirit cried out in ecstasy. I was drawn irresistibly in to your kaleidoscope of rainbow colour, swept along by the masterful composition and brought to tears by the power and emotion portrayed before me.
Yes Manny, I wept. You lifted me from the darkest despair and ascended my spirit to a place I could only have dreamt of.
Such vision, such depth, such genius. Truly you are a god amongst men.

| I remember her! Fabulous use of the umbrella to achieve stunning lighting. The radial ribs really draw the eyes to the center, and the prize of her face, which is perfectly lit. The color of her eyes might be just a tad too red, but the make-up and hair are terrific. I'm undecided about the red flowers on her dress - they keep drawing my eye away from the main subject. Maybe fewer of them, or slightly desaturated. |

| I absolutely love the composition you have here, with the radiating lines in the background. The pose and colors are great as well. I'm a little distracted by the super-heavy makeup. I know that that's the look you were going for - it just seems a little odd to me - just a personal preference, though. 7 |

| The only image in the group that wow'd me. Excellent job. Love the backlighting. To nit pick, the shadow coming across her nose bothers me and I assume you could edit that with your skill, must be the hair light above? All the crazy stray hairs, but I understand how annoying and difficult those are to be free of. Lastly, just the randomness of the umbrella, where is it coming from, how is it being held, etc... Would like to have seen the models hands engaged with it. Hope to be next to you at the top :) 9 |
