Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject.

Technical Aspects - Very good
Meets Challenge - yes+
Visual Impact / Originality - high
Looks like a painting. Great job. In my top 3.

for me, finding this photo was like discovering a diamond in the rough. lovely in its own right, but it was clear that with a little polishing through photoshop by tweaking the levels, contrast, saturation, sharpening, etc... that this photo would be a real gem. if you dont use photoshop or one of its equivalents, i urge you to look into doing so. myself and many others on this site would be happy to answer any questions you may have about their use. ~mcmurma (revised 8/11 because i felt the wording in the original was a bit harsh and subject to misinterpretation. my apologies if it offended in any way)
Aesthetics...7 (as is, it would be a 9 or 10 if tweaked)
Meets Challenge...9
Overall...8

I definitely think this is good work :) I wish there was a way to add some contrast thought... I also wonder if a different angle would have allowed you to remove the wooden post from the image... good work :) - jmsetzler

Comment by muckpond:
Very nice. The color seems a bit washed out -- would like to see more definition of the colors.

Skin so Soft
by kathleenm

Comment by nards656:
The skin is not really that "textured", and that's a compliment to the model. This is a well executed photo that washed out just a touch on the side of the nose. It seems that a little different framing (more eyebrow and a touch more chin) could make this "portrait" even better. 7 nards656
