Well looking back at this the score distribution is all over the chart. A total of 6 people gave me 1s and 2s. But on the other end of the spectrum 11 8's. What a weird score distribution. Overall I would have liked this to have done better but what can I say, it is what it is.

Can't really understand the scoring here, but o well.

Someone mentioned they would like to see the hair removed, I agree, this would actually make for a better image.

Hi Sid:

I think a crop would def be better, are you allowed to crop in minimal editing ?

andrewt Did you use a softbox or light modifier or was this bare bulb. This was my favorite from the challenge.

Thanks for all the nice comments and thank you sidpixel for all the constructive criticism. This is my very first challenge entry. That being said, I don't feel I did THAT bad, but obviously looking to improve. I did not know dodge/burn was allowed it is unclear from the standard editing rules. I thought only global adjustments were allowed. Otherwise I would have retouched the face, cloned out the circle in the top left, and removed distractions from the top of the image.

I appreciate the critique and thanks for the good and bad-- cuz it's really the bad that makes us improve.

Thanks asij for all the nice words. I wish it would have done better too, but for my first challenge, i'll take it.
