took close to 200 pics. Hope this one does well! I love it and yes I am aware of how awkward my hands are.
This is a sp. I should know by now what the voters like and dont like, but it always seems to be changing... I guess I'll have to try harder.
This is taken in front of a window. No other light was used. Had the camera timed and on a continous shoot. every 9 shots, i would go to the camera and check the shots, see if i was in frame, made sure the lighting was still ok, and so on and so forth.
It stinks that i didnt place higher or even just get a better score. Next time I'll pay better attention to small detail. Hopefully me and Smardaz will have lighting the next time i do a portrait shot.
So much creativity is buzzing around in my head, just held back with not having enough knowledge of photography and not having the right equipment.

I think this was probably said, but the bottom half does nothing for the shot. Obviously this was a jumping challenge so you needed it. But for you own purposes I'd suggest doing a horizontal crop just above the hips. The top half of the image is stellar! Or maybe even something funky with just one arm... play with it! :)
Did you cut your hair? It looks amazing. I like this image...I like the effort and the mood you are trying to set. The hands in my opinion are wonderful, it adds interest to the overall image. As far as the challenge, I think you may have entered an image that was not enough "jump" for the voters. I voted an 8 on this one. I like it.
Lovely flowing shot. I would have liked the head to be less closer to the top edge of the photo. I also got the idea of spin vs jump. Good luck and thanks for sharing. Loved the lighting shadows being cast on her right cheek.
this is going to be a frustrating challenge for you i think, if voters only saw the top half of the image it would be knockin em dead, the bottom half however....well I am sure you know what i am thinking. it's also too bad the hand placement would not let you crop in tighter on the left so as not to see the edge of the sheet......i gotta get that junk listed on craigslist so i can get that lighting ordered and you wont be so limited in your creativity. if i were to vote on this i would say 10 for the top half and 5 for the bottom, it just goes from magical to mundane as the eyes travel down the shot....An A+ on the concept tho.
