I think this is a great image. I "like" how the image appearsover-exposed, and washes into the background. Some may not, but I get it.

I like this very much.. however I think the white glove being as blown out as it is so near the face distracts my eye. Great pose.. and portait otherwise.

The blown out effect seems particularly ineffective with that hand. It loses all it's definition and detail, yet it's a main focal point of the photo.

She looks like Uma Thurman. :) I like the high contrast in this picture. The pose is also nice. Her eyes look great! Good luck!

Outstanding picture, great retention of detail while blowing out a lot of the subject.

Nice use of contrast, would have liked a little more contrast in the nose area, otherwise I think it's a great shot.

a little too high key for me. the exposure is beyond burned out :).. i like the composition tho.

Very nice! A somewhat "arty" feel to it, but you haven't lost all of the definition of her features, and you've maintained the expressiveness of her eyes. I like it a lot.

Great expression!! and nice capture, however the lighting is a bit too harsh for my taste...keep up the great work!

So well done I simply have nothing further to add. I read about this technique (high key). Your image is textbook perfect. Good luck....8

Dramatic! Excellent use of border... would have liked maybe a touch more, definition, because her hand (in a white glove?) is very distracting. I love the black hair though! Cool portrait! -8-

Ok, favourite shot this week. I really like the black and white contrast. Looks like a winner to me. Jakco 10

Great contrast. Nice abstract lighting. Really like it...

I think the white border unbalances the shot.
