Congrats on your ribbon. While you won the ribbon for this photo, I find your other more serious photos to be real winners also. I am surprised that this is your first.

Beautiful portrait. I would like to know the details of this shot, especially how you got the starburst in her eyes.

I actually like the surrealistic look. I would be interested in what you do after you play around with the selective saturation.

I love this photo, but then again, I am a sucker for all those "eye" photos. I like the fact that you can barely see her left eye.

Erin, your portraits are as good as they get. I love the lighting and your ability to capture different emotions from your subjects.

This is beautiful photo, everything is perfect, and the photographer definitely deserved to win the blue ribbon.

I do have some questions though, why would ANYONE give this photo a vote of less than than a 6? I understand that the voting is subjective, but there is no way anyone would think this is a below average photo, yet 39 or about 15% of the voters thought it was below average. It would appear that some people give those photographs who they view as competition, a low score to improve their ranking in the contest. I am new here, but is this common?
