Waiting

First off, she's beautiful and I would love to see the outtakes from this shoot. Perhaps a close up with her looking into the camera. . . but I digress.

I really want to like this image, but I find that the centered composition detracts as does the B&W treatment. It really doesn't leave enough contrast between the white of her dress and the surroundings for my taste.

I love it! Forget the fact that it's sharp as a tack and wonderfully composed. . . It made me chuckle! This is a great shot! There are 489 shots in this challenge. I'm through 5 of them, and I already hope to see you on the front page!

I just want to rotate this image about 8.32 degrees clockwise. Maybe I'm a bit OCD. Still, I really like the B&W processing of your shot and the lines all tend to draw you up and into the image. Nicely done.

Great detail! So much so, that I'm not sure where to look. You have effectively used the DOF to give a sharpness to the red areas, but my overall impression is of a very busy image.

THE SOUND OF SILENCE

This is a beautiful image, but I worry that your processing is a bit over the top for DPC, making a lovely photograph into a great drawing. I like it, but think you're going to be disappointed with the votes you get.

Still. . . looking at the photograph under the processing, I have to say that the detail is amazing and the composition is wonderful.

(I should also add that I see why you chose the processing that you did, and I really like your vision here, especially with the bottom left of the border.)

Oh, BTW. . . 9 :)

Great lighting and I really like the use of negative space here. Oh, and the lovely model doesn't hurt either!

Mining. . . what a great idea. . . might even work as a challenge! Of course now I'll be spending the rest of my night going through old photos.

This is a great image, especially considering how it was achieved.

Yep, I would have probably shot this as well, except that I never would have noticed it. :)

This is a beautiful portrait that deserves a place of honor over your mantle. Beautifully done, and I might have to PM you for tips on getting kids to stay still long enough for a shot like this. The lighting is wonderful and the B&W processing is wonderfully done. One of very few 10's I give out.
