My favorite model, Adine lying on white foam board, lit by two 600W hotlights. Postprocessing the usual exposure adjustments in raw conversion and then some spot editing to removing blemishes.

Hi greetings from the CC !!

Its my job to try and give you some meaningful feedback on your image,. I'm new to this, so I'll do my best.

Lets start with the obvious, the humour. Most commentators have applauded your inventiveness and humour, and I think that worked really well. The thing about humour is that it has to connect, and not everyone is on the same wavelength. Using humour can be a slightly risky strategy for that reason. You will see from the forums that some people wouldn't recognise humour if it slapped them on the cheek ;-)
I have to say I did pick up on this and awarded it a 6.

So why did I not give it a 7, well I think its the lighting which really is the big element which lets this image down. The very obvious shadow line mentioned in other comments is the first giveaway. However I think its something to do with the lack of side lighting which gives the face a flat feel. Now I don't claim to be a portraite photographer, but I do feel theres something extra which could have been made of the lighting and the models face.

The skin tones also appear a little 'red' on mu monitor and maybe that too could be addressed either with the white balance setting on the 10D or in PS afterwards.

Having said all that I really did enjoy the image. I think it showed huge amountts of invention and really give me a laugh when I first saw it. I congratulate you.

Hope that helps a little.

Regards

Falc

I thought this should have scored much higher, perhaps some did not look long enough to really see what was there. Interesting that the votes from the commenters was so much higher then the average.

Clever. Even better if you crop just below the nose to center the 3.

So original -- thanks for that! The expression on the subject's face makes this

Hehe, great photo. Goes without saying that the composition and subject work perfectly with the challenge theme. I like the use of the white background and the whimsical expression on the subject's face. Only thing that distracted me IMHO was the shadow cast. But nice photo nonetheless.... 8

what a cute idea.. there seems to be a strange shadow just above the model's head (to the model's left).. it's rather obtrusive, takes away from the cleanness of the photo :(

Really fun portrait. The lighting is a bit flat but I think it works for this. It kind of reminds me of an Annie Leibowitz portrait. I like her pose and the twinkle inher eye.
